Hi,

If I configure (via web.config) an httphandler to handle all .gif requests for a specific folder, is it absolutely essential for me to map .gif requests to aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS?

Is there any other way of ensuring that the .gif http request will be handled by aspnet_isapi.dll?

I have a server configured where the virtual dir that contained the .gif->aspnet_isapi.dll mapping has been deleted, but the .gif requests are still being passed to the handler. Anyone know how this might be being done, and where the setting might be lurking?

Thanks
