Hyphens in .axd path

Question

I pushed a website live for a client tonight using Infragistics web controls and we're having an issue where the path to the associated AXD files contain a double hyphen. This results in the clients' firewall program blocking access to the files since it perceives the double hyphen as a SQL injection attack.

Can anyone provide some ideas as to how to proceed?

Thanks.

For others who might experience this problem: so what I ended up doing was to modify the configuration of the Infragistics ScriptManager to combine the scripts into one large script file by default as follows:

</Scripts>

</ig:WebScriptManager>

The ScriptReference tags tells the ScriptManager which scripts to include in the combined file. The CompositeScript-Path parameter gives it a consistent name so that "dangerous" characters are explicitly avoided.

A good writeup as to how to figure out the javascript file names to include in the list are be found at http://community.infragistics.com/aspnet/articles/understanding-script-combining.aspx.

Also, I didn't try it out but the impression I got while researching this issue was that a similar process is available with the AjaxToolkit ScriptManager after ASP.NET 3.5.
