    I have a site where there is an existing ASMX handler service that I need to ensure still works.  The path is as shown below. 

    ~/system/services/existinghandler.asmx/EndpointName (domain removed so the forums doesn't parse the URL path)

    As you can see, there is an existing path that I need to try and maintain, system/services.  

    Why is DNN intercepting this request and how would you go about forcing DNN to ignore the URL so the handler can process the request?

      Did you try adding it to the "ignore URL regex"?

        Thanks, John!  I totally forgot about that setting!  

        Here's my updated code, just in case anyone else runs into this. 

        Original (ships with DNN): 

        (?<!linkclick\.aspx.+)(?:(?<!\?.+)(\.pdf$|\.gif$|\.png($|\?)|\.css($|\?)|\.js($|\?)|\.jpg$|\.axd($|\?)|\.swf$|\.flv$|\.ico$|\.xml($|\?)|\.txt$))

        Updated:  

        (?<!linkclick\.aspx.+)(?:(?<!\?.+)(\.pdf$|\.gif$|\.png($|\?)|\.css($|\?)|\.js($|\?)|\.jpg$|\.axd($|\?)|\.swf$|\.flv$|\.ico$|\.xml($|\?)|\.txt$)|\/system\/services\/[^\/]+\.asmx(\/[^\/?]*|$))

                I think it is so easy to forget about some of these more hidden yet powerful capabilities of DNN. Thanks for the refresher John!
