Incompatibility with NotFoundMvc

[maxtoroq]

Did you set existingResponse="PassThrough" on Web.config? see this.

[maurojs10]

Yes, I tried existingResponse="PassThrough", but it makes NotFoundMvc stop working for nonexistent static content (e.g. static.html, static.jpg) and for paths that exist but shouldn't be served (e.g. /controllers, /global.asax) and IIS request filtering (e.g. bin, web.config, app_code, app_globalresources, app_localresources, app_webreferences, app_data, app_browsers).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install NotFoundMvc (if not installed yet).
2. Configure Samples application web server (if not done yet).
3. Open Web.config of Samples application and go to line:

<error statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" path="/notfound" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

and change it to:

<error statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" path="/samples/notfound" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />

1. Run Samples application.
2. Browse URLs like:
   • http://localhost/Samples/static.html
   • http://localhost/Samples/global.asax
   • http://localhost/Samples/web.config
   • http://localhost/Samples/app_data
3. Go back to Web.config and add existingResponse="PassThrough".
4. Browse those URLs like again.

Perhaps this works?

<location path="Account">
   <system.webServer>
      <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
   </system.webServer>
</location>

I see the HandleErrorattribute, not used by MvcAccount, also sets TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true, so it seems to be a common practice. I'll do some testing, see if this change breaks anything.

[maurojs10]

Adding <location path="Account">... indeed fix the problem with the Sign In page, but it breaks the '404' page for paths like http://localhost/Samples/Account/static.html .

Let me know if the fix works for you. Apparently if you use TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true then existingResponse="PassThrough" is not needed anymore, does your testing tell you the same?

[maurojs10]

Yes, the fix works fine.
And yes, now existingResponse="PassThrough" is not needed anymore, even when NotFoundMvc is not installed.
Thank you very much.
