Questions[httpmodule](server)

I have a site that uses a .net security module to secure certain areas of the website. It's not working, the pages that should be password protected are not. Other than that, the site doesn't throw any errors.

I don't have access to the code, and the module doesn't seem to log anything.

Is there an IIS or .Net log of loading/calling httpModules? I feel like it's not loading/calling it, and it's just not telling me.

My web.config has this snippet, which loads the module:

<httpModules>

  <add name="MyApp.SecurityModule" type="MyApp.Host.Security.WebForms.SecurityModule" />

</httpModules>

I have a custom HTTP module for an ASP.NET MVC3 website that I'm loading from web.config:

<system.web>
    <httpModules>
      <add name="MyModule" type="MySolution.Web.MyHttpModule, MySolution.Web" />
    </httpModules>
</system.web>

The module is loaded correctly when I run the site from within the VS web server (the break point in my Init method is hit) but when I host it in IIS it seems to be ignored (the breakpoint is missed and the module's functionality is absent from the site). I have tried it on two separate IIS boxes with a similar result.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I have to flick in enable IIS to load modules from a site's web.config?

I have implemented a HttpModule in ASP.NET (framework 2.0).

From my logging on the server, I can see that the http request is being picked up by my HttpModule, and my code runs successfully (writing content back to the Response stream).

However, the web browser (IE, FF, Chrome, all the same) just give me a "connection reset" error message.

I've checked the Event Log on the server; there are no related errors or messages there.

When I use the "Live HTTP Headers" plugin in FF, it does not even display my client request (although I am sure it reaches the server, due to the request being captured in the server log).

How can I troubleshoot what's happening here?

I wrote a custom module that hooks into the Application_Error event of ASP.NET to write a user friendly error message instead of the YSOD. This works great on my development machine running on the built-in visual studio web server. When I move it over to IIS 7, my module is not even being invoked.

I did a failed request trace and it listed a VIRTUAL MODULE UNRESOLVED event for my (as well as a few others) module. So it seems like the module is not being found, but I can't find any information on this event in google.
