<location> element does not seem to work - Does anybody know how to solve this.

Hi,

I have been struggling with this for the past couple of days. We have
a custom http module setup in our project to filter some requests. I
only want this module to be applied to certain pages. In order to try
to do this I have added the following test code in our web.config
file.

<location path="Login.asp x">
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add type="AppTest.W ebUI.RequestFil ter, AppTest"
name="RequestFi lter" />
</httpModules>
</system.web>
</location>

However when I visit the login.aspx page the module doesn't get
executed. Note, that if I change the path to be nothing, for example:.
<location path="">
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add type="AppTest.W ebUI.RequestFil ter, AppTest"
name="RequestFi lter" />
</httpModules>
</system.web>
</location>

the module executes perfectly however it is applied to every page and
not just the login.aspx page. I have tried pretty much every
combination in the path attribute. Things like "~/login.aspx",
"AppTest/login.aspx", etc. and nothing seems to work. Has anybody
come across this issue before, specifically with trying to apply
access permissions to an httpModule. I've seen a lot of examples with
the authorization element being used, but that is about it. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
