How to ignore a route with self-hosted ServiceStack

Question

I am currently working on a solution where we have a self-hosted ServiceStack layer running, but the problem is that I keep getting errors when I access it from the browser

Answer 1

In my web.config I like to have something like this

That way all files with an extension get handled by IIS and means you don't have to go all the way through the aspnet pipeline to server up a 404. It also means you don't log a load of 404s in your servicestack application.
