    Help: Add/Remove/Clear HttpModule in subfolder never work!

    Hi , I thought it's simple ,but end up come here for help(as lots of other
    times). --I have several HttpModule added in the root thru web.config, but I
    want to remove some and add some new ones in one of sub folder. It is not
    fancy virtual folder, but simple sub folder. After create a web.config in the
    subfolder,
    <system.web>
    <httpModules>
    <clear />
    </httpModules>
    </system.web>

    and use one of the pages in the subfolder to list
    Context.Applica tionInstance.Mo dules collection, it always give me the full
    list that I setup in the root web.config.

    I don't know if this is by design in asp.net2 or something I did wrong which
    is really hard to find since the scenario is so simple. I guess you may know
    the answer.

    Thanks a lot if you can put any comment here.

      <httpModules> are only configured application wide, so only in the app's
      root web.config.

          Hi Brock, so sad to hear this. Originally I tought I could use this powerful
          means to handle different site features by separate each into different
          folders. I guess I could still do this by developing a
          ModuleCollectio nMaintenance module and pluginto the BeginRequest event. ( not
          sure if this work)

          I do have two additional questions: 1. if HttpModule can only setup on the
          app root, what's the purpose of clear and remove action, other than the
          "virtual folder as separate application" case, I don't think there is any
          usage at all! 2.Is there any documentation on this topic ? where do you find
          this info.

          Thanks a lot for the help and have a nice day.

              You can have nested applications and you might want to remove or clear the
              ones configured upstream.

              MSDN documentation, mostly:
