VirtualPathProvider without a file name

[mdufour]

Hi all,

I am working on a VPP and i would need some help.

I built my VPP using the model in the Sept 06 issue of Visual Studio
Magazine article RESTful ASP.NET app (Page 46).

I got the code done (In C# instead of VB.NET) and if i use the url
http://locahost/Test all i get is the 404 message from IIS.

I mapped an extension (.ip) throught the .NET dll and if i type
http://localhost/test.ip then it works.

I would like to get ride of the extension.

Notes:
The test directory doesn't exists on the hard drive, the point of using
a VPP was that i didn't have to create the directory or a file, from
what i understood. All the info is in a db and will be retreived from
there.
I am using VS 2005, SQL 2005 standard, IIS 6.0. Win XP pro SP2 on my pc
and Win 2k3 on the production server.

Anybody can help me?

I believe what you are looking for is to map a wildcard ( .*) mapping in IIS
to the ASPNET Isapi dll.
