I am working on a mvc4.5 project where I am using the embedded id to create an image using the CaptchaHtmlHelper
the config file is as bellow

XML

<system.web>
        <compilation targetFramework="4.5.1" />
        <customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="Error"></customErrors>
        <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.1" />
        <httpHandlers>          
            <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
            <add verb="*" path="LanapCaptcha.axd" type="Lanap.BotDetect.CaptchaHandler, Lanap.BotDetect" />
       </httpHandlers>  
 <handlers>
      <!-- Register the HttpHandler used for BotDetect Captcha 
      requests (IIS 7.0+) -->
      <remove name="LanapCaptchaHandler" />
      <add name="LanapCaptchaHandler" verb="*" path="LanapCaptcha.axd" type="Lanap.BotDetect.CaptchaHandler, Lanap.BotDetect" />    
    </handlers>

and in my Global.asax.cs file I have set the route as

C#

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
	{
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
            
        }       

		protected void Application_Start()
		{
			AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
			FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
			//RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
			BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
		}

when I load the page I get the following error

XML

Server Error in '/secure/account' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Solution 2

issue was with the mvc routing. I have to put the routing as bellow

C#

routes.MapRoute(
              "RootPages_default",
              "RootPages/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
              new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
          );

Solution 1

<add verb="*" path="LanapCaptcha.axd" type="Lanap.BotDetect.CaptchaHandler, Lanap.BotDetect" />

Your error path is

Requested URL: /secure/account/LanapCaptcha.axd

Is that where it lives ? I think you need to start with a \ and specify the full path to the axd file, if that's not where it is. If it IS there, I'd wonder if

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

is causing issues.

Did you know you can specify routes using the Route attribute directly in the controller ?

could you show me with an example please

Christian Graus 23-Jan-14 4:27am

You mean to specify routes ?

[Route("ImageData/GetThumbnail/{id}")]

is from my code, underneath is the GetThumbnail method of my ImageData WebAPI controller, and it takes an id parameter. But, I could have made the URL anything I wanted.

I think the issue is because my mvc project route starts at http://server/secure/account' when I did a test project where to route url start as localhost:5860/Home/Index the capture is working fine. so is that any think to do with the route? still not working

You can route the URL to any path you want.
