+Summary: child web.config overrides parent web.config
+
+Helo,
+ I use http handlers. 
+1) I have root /testweb/web.config, where I define
+<httpHandlers>
+<add verb="GET" path="HandlerA.ashx"	type="HandlerA, web" />
+</httHandlers>
+
+2) I have subdir /testweb/documents and there also a web.config:
+<httpHandlers>
+<add verb="GET" path="HandlerDoc.ashx"	type="HandlerDoc, web" />
+</httHandlers>
+
+Apache is configured normaly - virtual directory points to /testweb.
+
+The HandlerA is taken as handler in all paths except of /testweb/documents.
+The problem is that /testweb/documents/web.config overrides configuration
+of /testweb/web.config. So in context of /testweb/documents there is not
+taken the HandlerA  as a handler.
+
+The MS doc says:
+Multiple configuration files, all named Web.config, can appear in multiple
+directories on an ASP.NET Web application server. Each Web.config file
+applies configuration settings to its own directory and all child
+directories below it. Configuration files in child directories can supply
+configuration information in addition to that inherited from parent
+directories, and the child directory configuration settings can override or
+modify settings defined in parent directories.
+
+I think that in this case the child web.config should EXTEND configuration,
+not override. There is an <add> element ....
