Can ASP.NET Routing be used to create “clean” URLs for .ashx (IHttpHander) handlers?

September 2, 2022 by Magenaut

I have some REST services using plain old IHttpHandlers. I’d like to generate cleaner URLs, so that I don’t have the .ashx in the path. Is there a way to use ASP.NET routing to create routes that map to ashx handlers? I’ve seen these types of routes previously:

ASP.NET routing: Literal sub-segment between tokens, and route values with a character from the literal sub-segment

The reason I’m asking is because IIS protects certain ASP.NET folders, like Bin, App_Data, App_Code, etc. Even if the URL does not map to an actual file system folder IIS rejects a URL with a path segment equal to one of the mentioned names.

This question has been asked in a similar but not identical fashion (and not resolved to my satisfaction) previously on Stack Overflow and elsewhere.
