JS,Images and CSS getting intercepted by HTTPModule

Question

I have a simple HTTPModule which does some custom session state management.

public void Init(HttpApplication context)
        {
            context.AcquireRe         


        

Answer 1

Yes, it will be called for any type of files.

It's typical in those modules to filter out whatever you are not interested in for ex. by checking whether HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsolutePath contains '/_layouts' under SharePoint.

Answer 2

Looks like there is a way to do it

http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/121/iis-70-modules-overview/#Disabling

setting preCondition="managedHandler" and <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false" /> would do the trick

note to self: http://code.google.com/p/talifun-web/wiki/StaticFileHandler need to explore this StaticFileHandler

Exclude HttpModule from running for static content on IIS7
