Hi I need some help with configuring our IIS (8.0) to allow images to be delivered from the image folder and all its subfolders.
Our web.config is located in the root. We then serve most files from the dist folder. Images are located in ./dist/img/* . There are several image folder.
This is our configuration I think its primarily the handlers section that is interesting.

The problem we have is that files are not delivered correctly. I get a 404 when asking for any images apart from the ones directly below the image folder.
UPDATE
Here is what the error report looks like for the IIS. (404) The correct handler is used and the image has been validated to be in the Physical path given in the error report.
Detailed Error Information:
Module ManagedPipelineHandler
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler ImgStaticContent
Error Code 0x00000000
Requested URL host:80/dist/img/signs/traffic_signs/forbuds_marken/c31-11.png
Physical Path D:\home\site\wwwroot\dist\img\signs\traffic_signs\forbuds_marken\c31-11.png
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous
Update
If I add a handler for a specific subfolder like below. Those images are delivered correctly. Given the number of subfolders this is not possible to do for all folders though.
<add name="test"
path="/dist/img/signs/traffic_signs/forbuds_marken/*"
verb="*"
allowPathInfo="true"
type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
How do I configure handlers to work on subdirs and not just main directories.
