I've got an .ASHX handler I want to use to process an HTTP PUT to allow me to upload files to the web server--the .ASHX file actually uploaded data and sticks the file elsewhere, so it never actually touches the disk here.
I've set the web.config to allow it to handle HTTP PUT, but IIS won't pass the request to my code unless I set the ACLs on the .ASHX files themselves to be writable--Which is kinda silly, since we're not actually going to write to those files.
If I set the ACLs, it works fine, but I'd like to be able to process the file without having to set the ACLs at all (I'm sure there's an appropriate way to make IIS just pass the HTTP PUT to the .ASHX file without checking the permissions on the file itself.
This is on Win2008 R2 (actually, it's on Azure's 2008 R2, but should be the same), using .NET 4.0
