I'm getting a “Does not implement IController” error on images and robots.txt in MVC2

Question

I\'m getting a strange error on my webserver for seemingly every file but the .aspx files.

Here is an example. Just replace \'/robots.txt\' with any .jpg name or .gi

You can ignore robots.txt and all the aspx pages in your routing.

routes.IgnoreRoute("{*allaspx}", new {allaspx=@".*\.aspx(/.*)?"});
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*robotstxt}", new {robotstxt=@"(.*/)?robots.txt(/.*)?"});

You might want to ignore the favicon too.

routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new {favicon=@"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?"});

You can adjust the regular expression to exclude paths.
