How can I make www.mywebapp.com/bin return a 404 in ASP.NET MVC?
- by Freewalker
I'm using ASP.NET MVC to develop a web application, deploying to IIS 7. I've hidden my Files and Views directories with web.config files in those directories (they just return a normal 404).
However, I haven't been able to get the web.config method to work in hiding my bin directory. When I access www.mywebapp.com/bin, I instead get a too-revealing page with this message:
HTTP Error 404.8 - Not Found
The
request filtering module is configured
to deny a path in the URL that
contains a hiddenSegment section.
The page reveals part of my directory structure. I just want it to return my 404 page like the Files and Views directories do. How can I get this behavior?
