Why is IIS7 matching to handlers with the classicmode precondition when the app is running in integrated mode?

Your HttpHandler should actually be configured in the system. WebServer section of your web. Config file.

I know that now, but it doesn't explain the request trace. – michielvoo Oct 23 '09 at 6:14.

I didn't find out why it was set in classicMode by default, but this blog explained the various preconditions very well: blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2006/11/04/... Here is an excerpt from the blog regarding "The Mode Precondition": The Mode Precondition The new managed module and managed handler extensibility allows you to add managed code, i.e. ASP. NET pages, modules and handlers, directly into the IIS7 pipeline.

IIS7 needs to run the worker process in a particular way for this to work. It needs to load the . NET Framework 2.0 and it also needs to run a module called webengine.dll.Webengine.

Dll does all the work of hooking up managed modules with the IIS7 pipeline because IIS7 itself doesn’t know about managed code. The new way to integrate ASP. NET pages, modules and handlers is called “Integrated Mode�.

But there is still the good old way to hook up managed code in IIS7, i.e. Via the ISAPI interface. ASPNET_ISAPI.

DLL used to do this in IIS 5, 5.1 and 6.0. IIS7 continues to support the ISAPI hookup if you run the worker process in “classic Mode�. As a result IIS7 introduced two preconditions called “integratedMode�

And “classicMode�. A handler that has an “integratedMode� Precondition associated with it will only be loaded into an Application Pool that has the “integratedMode�

Property set on the ApplicationPool. Handlers with the “classicMode� Precondition will only be loaded into Application Pools that have the integratedMode property set to false.

Here are a couple of sites I visit regularly: PSDTuts psd.tutsplus.com/ and Smashing Magazine smashingmagazine.com/ both have inspirational articles, tutorials (tips n' tricks) as well as downloads.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
