title: PDF permissions management with ASP.NET - Timeout Issue
body: <p>I have a website that has several PDF files.  I need to have quite a few of them locked down with the standard ASP.NET authentication (in a folder with web.config that denies anonymous users).</p>
  
  <p>I set PDF files to get handled by the ASP.NET worker process and added:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" path="*.pdf" verb="*" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to my web.config, but for some reason they hang when downloading.  I've seen this issue before on an old server, and for the live of me I can't remember what I did to solve it.  Does anyone have any idea?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
