Re: [Webware-discuss] Application.config - Extensions to ignore

[Tavis R. <ta...@ca...>]

Tim,
I'm not sure what's going on with the logging, but ExtensionsToIgnore
isn't used for what you're trying to do.  Its purpose is to ignore
files that should never be served by Webware or Apache.

See
http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/ModRewriteRecipe
s for the solution to your problem.
