IIS by default sets a filter to deny requests to files with certain names such as app_data, bin etc to protect web applications. This is done via the hidden segments control in IIS. Your app seems to be affected by this. Ideally you should change the name of the file you are requesting. However, if you cannot do so then see the article here for steps on how to remove it. share|improve this answer answered Dec 27 '12 at 18:32 Kami 13k42350 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
