missing.aspx request not handed to .Net engine
Hi! I am a client of a hosting service that does seem reluctant to understand my problem, and perhaps you can tell what the issue is.I am hosting an ASP.net application on a Win2003 server and have custom errors in IIS enabled (going to notfound.aspx). However, asp and aspx files that IIS did not see where handled by a custom 404 error in my application. Web.config directed them to 404.aspx, and before that, the application_beginRequest in my global.asax checked the url for certain patterns to do some url rewriting, if possible.
Now, all of a sudden, this does not work anymore. All missing.aspx requests are answered directly by IIS with the notfound.aspx page, and, of course, the global.asax file never does any rewriting of the nice and short urls the users want to see ot the ugly and long ones that my application needs. Instead, all of them get notfound.aspx...
So, what is going on?
