Question

I’ve got an ASP.NET-hosted WCF application. At the moment, it displays a 403.14 - Forbidden: The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. error.

I’d like to replace this with something friendlier. However, I’d like to display a different page to localhost than to other visitors. The localhost page should have a little bit more information about where to look in the documentation for example.

You can add a Default.aspx to your WCF project. In the code behind you can add the following line in your Page_Load

if (HttpContext.Current.Request.IsLocal) 
{
  // Show localhost information 
  // or use Server.Transfer to move to another aspx file.
}
