[Mono-devel-list] mod_mono/xsp and external javascript files

[Phillip Hitchcock]

all files under the document root are owned by the apache user so it 
shouldn't be a permissions issue.

nothing gets written to the error log about it only a line in the access log 
showing the request for the js file, the 500 return, and the page that 
requested it.

i just found i do get more information if i directly request the file in the 
web browser, the browser comes back with the 500 error but it also says 
"Failed to get session object".
Now it does this on requests for .js and .html files straight from the web 
browser, xsp does exactly the same thing, is xsp suspose to be able to serve 
up html files?

i also just found this with the new information
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2004-September/023407.html
is this true?  does mod_mono and xsp only handle .NET files?

changing the
setHandler mono
to
AddHandler mono .aspx.dll ......

fixes it and all is good... mostly.

the only problem i do have with this is that i am using a httpModule to 
control access to the application as well as a few otherthings.  This means 
that anything not handled by mono won't be intercepted and interigated for 
authentication.
