Resolved url with 'bin' in go to 404 error

[mudassar]

Hi,

We are having an issue with our windows hosted plesk server.
When the term 'bin' is included in the url, we get a 404 error.
so website.com/folder/file.html works fine
but website.com/folder/bin/file.html will incur a 404 error.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

So I solved the issue in my own way. Removed 'bin' from hidden segments in the request filtering from IIS. Any advise on why i should leave it there and a work around would be helpful.
I'm using a database at the moment and one of the categories is 'body interior' which is being output as /bin/ so my whole system fails.

The /bin/ folder is used within the ASP.NET Framework and get's extra protection via the hidden segments.

If you don't use the bin folder this way you can remove it in IIS from the request filtering.

Everything ok now

Aah, ok, so there is no real risk by removing it from filtering as we are php on the website.

Thank you!
