Could not find how to configure httpModules using appcmd.exe

So I found the way to set the appSettings and connectionString in my web.config using appcmd.exe, but I tried every think I could to add an http Module to the <httpModules> section of the <system.web> with no success.
As it turns out in IIS 7 both <httpModules> and <httpHandlers> in <system.web> have been moved to <Modules> and <Handlers> in <system.webServer>. If you are using both the old location and the new location you will need to add the following item in the <system.webServer> section of the web.config file.
| <system.webServer> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration=”false” /> </system.webServer> |
You can now use the following appcmd.exe commands:
Add Module (httpModule)
| Set appcmd =C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe Set SiteName=”Default Web Site” %appcmd% set config %SiteName% /section:system.webServer\Modules /+”[name='<http Module Name>',type='<Module class and assembly information>']“ |
Remove Module (httpModule)
| Set appcmd =C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe Set SiteName=”Default Web Site” %appcmd% set config %SiteName% /section:system.webServer\Modules /-”[name='<http Module Name>']“ |
