Name

Displays the name of the handler mapping.

Path

Displays the file name or file name extension for which the handler will process a response. The value can be either a specific file name, such as WebResource.axd, or a wildcard (*) with a specific extension, such as *.exe.

State

Displays whether the handler is enabled or disabled based on the access policy set in the Edit Feature Permissions dialog box and the required access setting specified by the handler mapping. If a handler requires a type of access that is not enabled in the access policy at that level, the handler is disabled.

Path Type

Displays one of the following values for the type of path to which the handler is mapped:

• Unspecified, if the mapping does not apply to a specific path type.
  
  
• File, if the mapping applies to a file.
  
  
• Directory, if the mapping applies to a directory.
  
  
• File or Directory, if the mapping is for either a file or a directory.
  
  

Handler

Displays the module, such as IsapiModule, or managed type, such as System.Web.Handlers.TraceHandler, that responds to the request as specified in the mapping.
