ASP.NET Webforms routing with extension

Question

I have a simple ASP.NET Webapplication project with url-routing and want to "allow" routes with the fileextension like ".html", e.g...

http://www.mywebsite.com/cms/test.html
http://www.mywebsite.com/cms/sub/test.html
http://www.mywebsite.com/cms/sub/sub/test.html

My global.asax routes looks like this:

routes.MapPageRoute("", "cms/{a1}", "~/default.aspx");

The route is matched with when i access the website like this: http://www.mywebsite.com/cms/test

If i try this one, it doens't work too:

routes.MapPageRoute("", "cms/{a1}.html", "~/default.aspx");

EDIT: Always i get an 404 error. I think that .net looks for the physical file...

Any ideas?

You should verify if IIS isn't routing these request before .NET working process. — Andre Calil

The easiest troubleshoot is to place a HTML file on the path you're routing to and test if its called. If you keep getting 404, then there's nothing to do with IIS and the problem is with your route. Otherwise, it's IIS getting in your way. — Andre Calil

I've fixed it on my on with the following property "runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests" inside the like this:

  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
    <handlers>
      <remove name="UrlRoutingHandler" />
    </handlers> 
  </system.webServer>
