And all you need to override this behavior is a simple web.config file
in the vroot containing your exe:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<remove verb="*" path="*.config" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Make sure you don't put this in an ASP.NET app as anyone will be able to
download the web.config file which may contain sensitive information
