I am stumped on how a software vendor does this, and need help turning this mystery into facts for my own knowledge.
This vendor's product supplies a configuration dialog that allows me to accept the default port of 8080 for a set of web pages. These web pages sit in a folder outside of the wwwroot directory. The set is given a name called FOO in the product. these are normal web pages with client side script.
When I navigate to http://someserver:8080/FOO, the web pages are served up as intended.
When I launch IIS Admin and view the only defined web app, the Default web, expand the nodes to view all folders and virtual nodes, I do not see a folder or virtual node named FOO. I don't understand how this is possible. Can someone please help explain this because trying to get an answer from the vendor is not feasible.
