    Generic Handlers ".ashx"

    Is it possible to use Generic Handlers in HS to answer xmlhttprequests?
    I have attempted this in two projects and get the same error each time.

    When a xmlhttprequest is made to callback.ashx I get the following as a return.

    HTML Code:
    "<p><i><b>Script Error:</b></i><br>File not found: C:\Program Files\HomeSeer HS2\html\HSM/callback.ash</p>"
    This is also found in the HS log.
    9/17/2010 11:48:28 AM Error Running script: File not found: C:\Program Files\HomeSeer HS2\html\HSM/Callback.ash

    The first thing I notice is the file name is callback.ash and not callback.ashx.

    This does work correctly in the vs2005 web server using remoting to HS, just not in HS.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I think I found a similar problem when trying to use ajax and web services. Your best option might be to use IIS as your homeseer webserver.

      Why not use aspx pages?

        because you can't for everything.

          For example? I'm trying to see if I understand the ashx pages as well as I thought I did.

            So I guess HS doesn't support generic handlers then, for the moment I guess I can just switch the code to an aspx page and make sure to flush and end and the response.

            I have always used handlers for this type of request, just seems like the right way to do things. I'm sure someone smarter than I can explain it in much better detail....lol

              I do have IIS running on that server, but it seems like a lot of extra work to get everything running.....lol

              Does everything work as usual or do you have to create all custom pages for HS?

              The biggie, what's it take to access serial ports and stuff from IIS, as I recall that takes a bit to get worked out.

              Thanks
