Question

Why cant i register a HttpModule under a directory?

  <system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="*" path="/home/facebookredirect.axd" type="Facebook.Web.FacebookAppRedirectHttpHandler, Facebook.Web" />
    </httpHandlers>

  </system.web>

<handlers>
  <add name="facebookredirect.axd" verb="*" path="/home/facebookredirect.axd" type="Facebook.Web.FacebookAppRedirectHttpHandler, Facebook.Web" />
</handlers>

when the request comes to /home/facebookredirect.axd i m getting a 404. why this is not working?

I want the facebookredirect.axd to work under /home/

Below is frm, global.asx

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

Essentially. home doesnt exist, there is a home controller. But i want to use this path.

Answer 1

path="/home/facebookredirect.axd"

should be:

path="home/facebookredirect.axd"

Also you need to exclude this url from your routes:

routes.IgnoreRoute("home/{resource}.axd");
