On IIS6 I have configured a wildcard application mapping, but now when I
just browse to a URL or an IP without specifying a document, it does not add
the "default document" anymore. Is it a bug in IIS 6.0 ?

Does anyone know a workaround? Or does anyone have code to replace the
"default document settings" in an isapifilter? I don't have any clue how to
do that.

Any help would be very much appreciated

What ISAPI did you set as the wildcard application mapping?

If the ISAPI application you have defined as a wildcard application
mapping is not designed to be this, it will probably break DefaultDoc.

The only ISAPI application i am aware of that ships with IIS 6.0 and
supports wildcard application mapping is URLAuth. So if your ISAPI
application is something else, you may want to contact the developer.

Hello,

The ASP.NET ISAPI seems to break this functionality when configured as a
wildcard application mapping. I don't know how to fix that since i don't
know what is wrong with the ASP.NET ISAPI.

Perhaps you want to ask in the ASP.NET newsgroup if they have other
suggestions? Or call Microsoft about it.

Ok, this got me to nail down some of my long outstanding blog posts - IIS6
request pipeline basics - and then apply it in the case of how wildcard
application mapping interacts with IIS6.

http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/15/Why_Wildcard_application_mapping_can_disable_Default_Document_resolution.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/14/HOWTO_IIS_6_Request_Processing_Basics_Part_1.aspx

The short answer to your question is:
- This is not a bug in IIS6 nor ASP.Net.
- If you use ASP.Net ISAPI from ASP.Net 1.0 or 1.1, then disabling default
document is by design with no workarounds other than rewriting IIS code to
do DefaultDoc resolution.
- If you use ASP.Net ISAPI from ASP.Net 2.0, then it should just work.

After opening an Incident with Microsoft ,
the workaround for this version of Asp.net 1.1 and IIS 6.0 is :
- The Web site is not configured for the ?application wildcard
mapping? and we have got only one page ?default.aspx? that does only
Response.Redirect("ApplicationDirectory\SomePage.aspx")

- The ?ApplicationDirectory? virtual directory is your ASP.NET
application with ?application wildcard mapping?

Conclusion:

- Users browse http://www.example.com/, the default.aspx executes
and redirects to http://www.example.com/ApplicationDirectory/SomePage.aspx

- There is no problem with Session state and application state
because the default.aspx page is only there to redirect the user. The
application is only hosted in one unique virtual directory
?ApplicationDirectory?

I hope my issue helps someone else.

Thanks to Microsoft for support

Bye

There's a (in my opinion) smarter way to do this.
Create a IHttpModule and let it check all incoming requests.
And then do something like this in the module:

#region IHttpModule Members

public void Init(System.Web.HttpApplication application)
{
// TODO: Add UrlRewriteModule.Init implementation
application.BeginRequest +=new
EventHandler(application_BeginRequest);
}

public void Dispose()
{
// TODO: Add UrlRewriteModule.Dispose implementation
}

#endregion

private void application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//cast the sender to an HttpApplication object
System.Web.HttpApplication Appl=(System.Web.HttpApplication)sender;

string originalPath = Appl.Request.Path.ToLower();
// Check if the originalPath ends with a slash
if(originalPath.EndsWith("/"))
{
// check if default.aspx exists
FileInfo fi = new
FileInfo(Appl.Request.PhysicalPath+"\\default.aspx");
if(fi.Exists)
{
Appl.Response.Redirect("default.aspx",true);
}
}
else
{
// Check if we have a "directory-like" url
Match m = Regex.Match(originalPath, @"([/a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)");
if(m.Success && m.Index == 0 && m.Length == originalPath.Length)
{
// Could be a directory...
FileInfo fi = new
FileInfo(Appl.Request.PhysicalPath+"\\default.aspx");
if(fi.Exists)
{
Appl.Response.Redirect(originalPath+"/default.aspx",true);
}

}
}
}
