Wildcard Application Maps

[cjdrake]

Hi there,

I'm running a .NET web app and using a wildcard application map setup in IIS to secure all files (I need images etc to be secure as well as pages).

It's working fine, but there is one snag. When I type in the address of the app using the virtual directory root (e.g.

http://www.mydomain.com/appname)

the system doesn't respond and eventually I get a 404.

This seems strange because if I type the full path inclucing the default doc location (e.g.

http://www.mydomain.com/appname/default.html)

the page loads fine.

Why is it not working using

http://www.mydomain.com/appname,

and how do I fix it?

Any help is greatly received.
Thanks.
