  URL without trailing slash fails Reply Contact Hi  We have just migrated from IIS6 to IIS7. We have a number of ASP.NET apps running on the server. We are experiencing problems with one of them. When we enter ourdomain.com/site1/ in the browser, everything works as expected. The site is loaded etc. But if we leave out the trailing slash we get an exception: System.Web.HttpException: Failed to Execute URL.   at System.Web.Hosting. ISAPIWorkerRequestInProcForIIS6.BeginExecuteUrl(String url, String method, String childHeaders, Boolean sendHeaders, Boolean addUserIndo, IntPtr token, String name, String authType, Byte[] entity, AsyncCallback cb, Object state)   at System.Web.HttpResponse.BeginExecuteUrlForEntireResponse(String pathOverride, NameValueCollection requestHeaders, AsyncCallback cb, Object state)   at System.Web.DefaultHttpHandler.BeginProcessRequest(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback callback, Object state)   at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()   at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)   This particular app is an ASP.NET Webforms app with its managed pipeline set to classic mode. This worked on II6 without any issues.

  Re: URL without trailing slash fails Reply Contact  Looks like you have something responding to the directory name as a file.  Which technically is correct, since directory names are supposed to have a trailing slash.  Normally the browser or server will try a second request with the slash, but if you have something responding to an extensionless request that won't happen. But, since it failed to execute, my guess is that "site1" is really a substitute for a directory name similar to "example.com."  Since the .com extension is a legitimate executable extension in Windows, it is attempting to execute your folder name.  Stop using .com in folder names, it's really that simple.

"site1" is the name of the folder as well as the name of the virtual directory hosting this particular ASP.NET application. And there is no dot-anything in the name.
