Contents of Machine.Config File?

[Bill]

If my web site is on a shared server, how can I can see the contents of the
"Machine.Config" file for my machine?

Also, is "Machine.Config" specific to asp.net or can a classical ASP page use it as
well?

[Karl Seguin]

Yes, it's specific to asp.net

It's stored in a system folder. If you don't have access to it, you can't
see what's in it. Basic file permissions. Ask your hosting company what's
in it...maybe htey'll tell you.

..NET config files are heirarchical. That is, you can override them.
There is actually a typical document hosters use to enforce certain
policies. For example, most of them make sure you can't use your own
custom error messages.

That said, there are many things YOU can override with your own
web.config. file.

Thanks. I'm looking to see the types of browsers that are
recognized; specifically, which return True with
Request.Browser.Crawler .
