Currently using GetSimple on a Windows host. However, the generation of .htaccess files can cause a problem (every time I go on the health check page for example). This is because some IIS extensions recognise these files, for the purpose of password protecting folders.
To work round this, I have had to do a check every time a .htaccess file may be generated.
Due to the fact that not having .htaccess files prevents "pretty url's", I have worked around this through the use of a web.config file. Protecting folders should work in IIS 6 (Windows 2003), however the url rewriting requires IIS 7 (Windows 2008) and the URL Rewrite add-on.
Would it be possible for GetSimple to be changed to prevent the creation of .htaccess files on a Windows host (the side effect of this will be no folder protecting or url rewriting on Apache Windows, but I've not seen a Web Host offer this and it make no real sense to do so). Without this check, I have to trawl through the source to make sure these files aren't created.
