I'm having some problems setting the handlers for mono using apache.
Specifically if i choose to set the handler for specific file extensions
i have 404 page not found problems when i use an httpHandler in my
application.
ie. If i use the following in my apache config the application works fine.
<Location /TestApp>
SetHandler mono
</Location>
If i use the following in my apache config i get page not found errors
when i request the url for an httpHander
<Location /TestApp>
AddHandler mono .aspx .ascx .asax .ashx .config .cs .asmx
</Location>
The problem is that the the url for httpHandler doesnt exist as an aspx
page, apache seems to be deciding that the actual file doesnt exist
before it passes the request to mod_mono.
In this case the problem is not critical, however if i was using a front
controller or something where the requested page doesnt necessarily
exist then there would be all sorts of problems.
Im after this behaviour as i want apache to serve the static content
instead of passing the request to mod_mono to do it.
Has anyone encountered/solved this problem before
Thanks.
