Is it possible to read Web.config or Global.asax files from browser?
No, it is not possible to directly read the contents of the Web.config or Global.asax files from the browser. These files are server-side configuration files and are not meant to be accessible or readable by client-side code running in the browser.
The Web.config file contains sensitive configuration settings and connection strings that are used by the server-side application. It typically resides on the server and is processed by the server's runtime environment, such as ASP.NET, to configure the behavior of the web application.
Similarly, the Global.asax file contains server-side code and event handlers that are executed by the server's runtime environment in response to certain application-level events.
Both these files are located on the server and are processed by the server before generating the HTML and other content that is sent to the browser. The browser only receives the output generated by the server, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static files.
So, while it is not possible to directly read the Web.config or Global.asax files from the browser, it is important to ensure that these files are properly secured and that sensitive information is not inadvertently exposed.
