This is a followup to issue 72. I noticed in the mail module where a try/catch
block was added to the mail module. I was wondering if there was a reason
try/catch blocks were not added at all (or nearly all) entry points to prevent
elmah from crashing IIS? Even the mailer only has a try/catch around a small
patch of code, and not a catch-all handler.
We're wanting to add Elmah to our web app, but we can't allow it to crash IIS
in our environment. I'm thinking of just adding try/catch blocks myself, so:
1. Are there reasons for not catching all unhandled exceptions in the elmah
module(s)?
2. If I modify the elmah sources to do this, would you want me to send you a
patch? Also, do you have an opinion on whether catch-all should be used, or
should only specific exceptions be caught?
3. Any other thoughts/insights/suggestions you have into this issue is
appreciated.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
IIS not crashing, but is.
