[Mono-list] HttpHandlers

[Chris Day]

There is the <probing> tag that can specify subdirectories to search.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want as it doesn't allow
assemblies to be placed _anywhere_, but there is nothing in the specs
that says you can't do relative paths to get below the directory (ie.
use '../../../usr/local/myassemblies').  You should also have a look at
the <codeBase> tag which may also do what you want.  I am not sure if
these are implemented in Mono though.

<probing>

Specifies application base subdirectories for the common language
runtime to search when loading assemblies.

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding>
         <probing>

<probing privatePath=3D"paths"/>
Required Attribute
Attribute Description=20
privatePath Specifies subdirectories of the application's base directory
that might contain assemblies. Delimit each subdirectory with a
semicolon.=20

Example
The following example shows how to specify application base
subdirectories the runtime should search for assemblies.

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <probing privatePath=3D"bin;bin2\subbin;bin3"/>
      </assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>
</configuration>
