Did you update your web.config file with the same information?

Hi Folks,

I've registered a handler in my application for *.xml files:

<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,HEAD,TRACE" path="*.xml"
type="XMLPlatform.XMLHandler,XMLPlatform" />
</httpHandlers>
I've ensured that mappings to *.xml using all verbs are configured in IIS:



Yet despite all this, IIS still seems to get in the way for HEAD and TRACE
calls. This is so very annoying (on top of all the other things it likes to
stand in the way of like session and security) and I hope someone can
suggest a work-around or reason why this happens. Otherwise, I'll have to
finally acknowledge that ASP.NET does actually suck after all and program
using ISAPI or scrap IIS altogether in favor of my own web server (I'd write
it in C#).

Yes:

<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,HEAD,TRACE" path="*.xml"
type="XMLPlatform.XMLHandler,XMLPlatform" />
</httpHandlers>

[excerpt from my web.config]

The handler works great for GET,POST,PUT,DELETE.... but forget about HEAD or
TRACE ...
