Answer 1

I tested with path="x" in root web.config. It restrict everything under x folder; it won't even let me browse ~/x. I get redirected to login page.

Could you try full path to a.txt like this in root web.config?

If it still doesn't work, you can try creating a web.config inside x folder with the following content.
