Call to .axd returns 404

Question

User-1197756793 posted

I created my own .axd handler for uploading file and set everyting in the web.config.

when I call the .axd, I get 404.

I have another .axd which works fine on the same web application.

in httpHandlers I have:

<add verb="GET" path="ShowImage.axd" validate="false" type="ImageServer.StreamImage, ImageServer"/>
<add verb="POST" path="UploadFileServer.axd" validate="false" type="UploadFileServer.UploadFile, UploadFileServer"/>

in handlers (for iis7) I have:

<add name="ImageServer" preCondition="integratedMode" path="ShowImage.axd" verb="GET" type="ImageServer.StreamImage, ImageServer"/>
<add name="UploadFileServer" preCondition="integratedMode" path="UploadFileServer.axd" verb="POST" type="UploadFileServer.UploadFile, UploadFileServer"/>

ShowImage.axd works fine, UploadFileServer returns 404.

why?

Hi,

Usually when you get a 404 for a handler that are configured to handle POST you are trying to access the handler using a GET request, how are you trying to access the handler?

Best regards

I use Fiddler to test the request and I see:

POST /website/webapp/UploadFileServer.axd HTTP/1.1

The same call works on IE10, Chrome and firefox, but return 404 using IE 8/9.

Do you have any idea why?
