HttpHandler path matching

asp.net, httphandler

Solution

You can use location element for this

<location path="MyPath">
  <system.webServer>
     <handlers>
      <add name="MyHandler" path="MyPath/*" verb="*" type="MyProject.MyHandler, MyHandler"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</location>

Problem

In ASP.NET 4.0 with IIS7, I created a HttpHandler and registered it in web.config ``` <add name="MyHandler" path="MyPath/*" verb="*" type="MyProject.MyHandler, MyHandler" /> ``` Here, what I try to achieve is to handle all the file requests to `http://my-server/MyPath/*`, but with such settings the requests to `http://my-server/SubFolder/MyPath/*` will also be handled, not what I want. Is the absolute path the only way I can use to guarantee first level folder match? Any other better idea?
