How would you add a httphandler for an ASPX url to Umbraco?

Using Umbraco 4.11.1, I am trying to implement a custom httphandler and having no fun getting it to work. I have perfectly functioning stand-alone web site on the same computer in which the handler works, but when I moved it to Umbraco, no dice. Therefore I figure something in Umbraco is interfering with the httphandler. The configuration looks like this:

Added to httpHandlers in the Umbraco web.config section: <add verb="*" path="ChartHost.aspx" validate="false" type="MyCompany.Web.ChartHost"/ >

Added to appSettings: <add key="umbracoReservedUrls" value="~/config/splashes/booting.aspx,~/install/default.aspx,~/config/splashes/noNodes.aspx,~/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd,~/ChartHost.aspx" />

The result is the asp default 404 not found page (not the umbraco-generated version at least, so a little progress is made). I think this is a little different because it's mapping an ASPX extension and I think Umbraco is trying to rewrite URLs with ASPX in them. I also added some mappings for the ASHX extension that are working just fine - just not the ASPX mapping. Any advice on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

I also asked this question two days ago on the umbraco forum (no answer yet) in case you come across it: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/8754-How-to-register-custom-HttpHandler

From HttpHandler not working in IIS 7:

Registration of HttpHandlers is different for IIS7 than for previous versions of IIS. Specifically, you register the handlers in the web.config section named <system.webServer><handlers> not in <httpHandlers>.

See this question for an example.
