I have statiс files in website folder, but need to check permissions for every file. I decided to use HttpModule for that purposes.
ASP.NET receives all the http-requests (I used wildcard mapping) and
The algorith is the following:
- HttpModule receives the request
- HttpModule checks permissions
- If access is denied then the answer is "Forbidden". If all is OK then httpModule's method just returns.
- DefaultHttpHandler is automatically used to process request for static files
The problem is that DefaultHttpHandler is not effective enough (it doesn't use file cache, etc.). But IIS (without ASP.NET) works with static files in a very good way.
All I want is to let IIS serve static files after my checks. Is there any way to implement it?
