opening web.config in browser

Hi ,

Is it possible to open web.config in my browser or is it not allowed due to security reasons.

I want to check if the xml in web.config is properly formed or not .

cheers,

Buddy

IIS will not allow you do open it through a browser assuming you are accessing it remotely. This is definately due to security because connection string and application specific information is usually stored in the web.config file.

Opening it with a browser directly from your file system shouldn't be an issue.
