You're probably using a global.asax that uses Session. The problem is
that if you use SetHandler xsp will serve all the files and for those
that are not ASP.NET pages/handlers it will fail with that error. In
this case, using AddHandler is the way to go, which is the same thing
that IIS does, ie, let apache serve non-ASP.NET files.
