In the meanwhile you may either use just path=*.ashx", if your
site doesn't contain other *.ashx files, or create
the directory "ajax" and put a web.config file containing

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
     <system.web>
         <httpHandlers>
                 <add verb="*" path="*.ashx" ... />
         </httpHandlers>
     </system.web>
</configuration>

and remove the handler from the main web.config.
