I have configured IIS Express to have multiple virtual directories with a forward slash in the path by editing applicationhost.config. Is this the only way to have a path with a forward slash - hand edit the config file?
<virtualDirectory path="/docs/patha" physicalPath="\\unc\a\d" />
<virtualDirectory path="/docs/pathb" physicalPath="\\unc\b\d" />
<virtualDirectory path="/docs/pathc" physicalPath="\\unc\c\d" />
<virtualDirectory path="/docs/pathd" physicalPath="\\unc\d\d" />
