How to disable Request Filtering for a specific website on IIS 7.5?

I have Request Filtering enabled in my IIS 7.5 and want to keep it that way, however, one site is basically just a proxy for some internal Java application and I'd like to disable Request Filtering for that site. Is it possible to do that?

Solution 1:

You could enable Request Filtering for the top (server) level, and then just add a <clear /> in the individual sections in the web.config file for the site for which you don't want to use Request Filtering:

<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
      <security>
         <requestFiltering>
            <denyUrlSequences>
               <clear />
            </denyUrlSequences>
            <fileExtensions allowUnlisted="true">
               <clear />
            </fileExtensions>
         </requestFiltering>
      </security>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>
