.less files are statically served on IIS6 + .NET 4 MVC3

Question

In the .NET 4 MVC3 project, I am running a local machine on IIS6 (don't ask why). It has the correct wildcard mapping in IIS for v4 aspnet_isapi.dll, and the same applies to the .less extension.

Web.config defines these IIS6 and IIS7 httphandlers.

<system.web>
  <httpHandlers>
    <add type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler,dotless.Core" validate="false" path="*.less" verb="*" />
  </httpHandlers>
</system.web>

<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <add name="less" type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler,dotless.Core" path="*.less" verb="*" />
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>

Surfing up /path/to/nonexisting.lesscauses the correct error, which shows me a stack that works LessCssHttpHandler.

Surfing /path/to/existingfileondisk.lessjust loads the source file less than it is. It seems to me that a valid static file handler works here, although I'm not sure.

What am I missing (except for the new car;))?
