[Mono-list] HttpHandler and 2.4.3+

[Peter Hagen]

Goodday

Last week I have upgraded my systems to 2.4.3 and one to the new 2.6,
together with monodevelop 2.2. First of all, it works like a breeze!
Very cool, and I'm very happy with these releases, and thanks allot to
the Mono team! But, I do think I found a possible bug. Before i was
running 2.0.1 and a 2.4.2-3. I created a HttpHandler system in which I
can dynamically add services. One of these services is a trackback
system for a mailinglist. The mailing has an url in it to an image,
which is handled by the service. Such an url looks like this:

http://www.willow-net.nl/remote/trackmm/5,493,989/tb.gif

The idea is that "remote" is the httphandler, and trackmm is a
dynamically added service to this. This service can 'decode' the id's,
do some database action and reply with a 1x1 gif image. This works on
2.0.1 till 2.4.2-3. In apache i have an empty folder named remote, so it
can send the request to mono. No problem here. Now i have the 2.4.3 and
2.6 mono installed, and I get an 'The resource cannot be found'
exception when calling this url. After testing, i noticed that calling
"http://www.willow-net.nl/remote/trackmm" does call the service, but
when i add an / to it, it wont. So, it looks like, the newer versions
doesn't allow any extra's in the path. Here is my httphandler definition
in Web.Config:

<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="remote/*" type="Willow.Cms.Common.WebServiceHandler,
Willow.Cms.Common" />
</httpHandlers>

So, now its the question, is this a bug? Or is this the way it should
have been working in the past?

Cheers

Peter
