I'm trying to execute a virtual path inside a HTTP module (I want to capture the result).

But I get an error:

Error executing child request for /home/something/.

Code:

public void ExecuteUrl(string url)
{
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    var sw = new StringWriter(sb);
    HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(url, sw);
    return sb.ToString();
}

Another related question says that it's by design, and the accepted answer won't work for me since I want to capture the result.

Is there another approach that I can take?

Is this MVC or vanilla ASP.NET ? – Sam Axe Mar 26 '13 at 18:57
If possible I would like ASP.NET to run the URI through all modules/handler to find one which can handle the URI. – jgauffin Mar 26 '13 at 19:04
Maybe I just don't get something.. but why not to use WebClient's Download with your URI? – Lanorkin Mar 26 '13 at 21:29
@Lanorkin: Since it will be less efficient than executing everything in process. – jgauffin Mar 26 '13 at 21:30
