Just a quick question, cause I can't seem to find an answer anywhere (or I am horrible at coming up with the right search terms :) )

I've got an .asp form that is posting to a folder, not a file. Where/how can I changeover the application configuration in IIS to allow me to post to a folder? I've found mentions of this, but nowhere is there an explanation of how to do so. If it isn't in the app configuration tab, does anyone know how this is done? I have a host that manages my servers, and it functions there - but, I cannot get the same method to function on my test server.

Are you talking about the HTML FORM tag's ACTION setting? So you have an HTML tag that looks something like:

FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=MyProcessingFolderURL

Maybe that works if the ASP file that is going to process the form contents is the default file. Or the folder is mapped to something like an application server. But if you're dealing in straight ASP, it strikes me as lazy and sloppy (and hazardous) to not explicitly state the filename.

Anyone know the answer to this? Lazy/slopppy or whatever I really need to know how to post to a directory that has a default.asp in it. As of now i get a 405 method not allowed error and it is too late to change my form (already pressed on CDs ). I need to know what change needs to be changed in IIS.
