Overlapped IO Operation In Progress error accessing wildca..

The instructions for using the *;! syntax (wildcards) for disabling
HttpRedirect can be found at:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/ref_mb_httpredirect.asp" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissd...is/ref_</a>

It also was at the following address as recently as a couple of weeks ago,
but now gets a 404 error:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/ref_we_redirect.asp" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/ref_we_redirect.asp</a>

The 404 error method you listed appears to be working, but is giving me a
few caveots. I'll continue to work through it until I hear back from you on
the wildcard syntax issue. Thanks.

Greg

Hi Greg,

Sincerely thanks for the reference you pointed. I hadn't noticed the
HttpRedirect property has this built-in tricks before. After I set
the *;! value by using metaedit directly, the redirection block began
to work.

I reviewed the threads again. The "Overlapped IO Operation In
Progress" error you met was in client IE, right? If so, we'd check:
if the problem pages being placed to a normal virtual directory
without HttpRedirect, will the same error still occur?

If it doesn't occur anymore, we can assume the issue should be:
HttpRedirect makes IIS sometimes send corrupt HTTP response data to
client browser, which can cause the "Overlapped IO Operation In
Progress" error. IMHO, this possibility is very little.

If the error occurs as well, we need check the data of those pages
and also test if there is only one client browser hitting this error.

I'm looking forward to your response.

Hi Greg,

Have you tested the pages on a normal directoy? Which is the result?

Thanks for continuing to look into this, and sorry for the delay.

I have tried the pages on non-redirected virtual directories and they never fail.

I've recreated the site and virtual directories a couple of times. Each time everything starts out working fine. When I turn on redirects at the parent level, then block them with the wildcard (*;!) at the virtual directory level, it causes the error.

BTW, I'm using MetaEdit 2.2.3 to insert the HTTPRedirect with the wildcard in the virtual directory.
