I just enabled source maps because, sure why not, I'd like to try them out. However, I'm finding that IISExpress will not download .coffee files so it doesn't work.
I'm sure it's a simple web.config modification, I'm just not sure which one. How do I configure it to serve these?
All of IIS Express's configuration is done through the configuration files; in this case you want
C:\Users\[user]\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
In that file, there's a list of all of the static content types that IIS Express knows about and is willing to serve. You just need to add your extension to that list. The list starts about 1/2 down the file, in this XML element:
<staticContent lockAttributes="isDocFooterFileName">
It should be pretty obvious what to do from there: just map.coffee files to the correct mime type.
<mimeMap fileExtension=".coffee" mimeType="text/plain" />
This element is found within the system.webServer element, which is one of the ones that supports delegation to individual web.config files, so you should be able to add a similar XML block to your project's configuration file:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".coffee" mimeType="text/plain" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>

http://abcds.azurewebsites.net/scripts/abdsk.json
This file is available in the azure. But when i go to "http://abcds.azurewebsites.net/scripts/abdsk.json" i get a response back saying
GET http://abcds.azurewebsites.net/scripts/abdsk.json 404 (Not Found)
What might be the cause?
By default, Azure won't serve certain file types. You have to explicitly include the MIME type in order for Azure to serve the file.
In your Web App's web.config, add the following in the section:
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
I am totally new to IIS and this is my first attempt to host one of my websites on my own machine's IIS server.
I installed IIS using Add windows features on or off feature and used aspnet_regiis -i to install asp on it.
Then I copied my website's content to wwwroot directory and I have a partially working website, because some fonts, images, js files and a webm file can't be loaded into the page and when I go to these files by url I get this error message:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be
served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a
script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME
map.
I should mention that I checked static content under common http features in Add windows features on or off but still I have the same problem
Thanks in advance for your help
UPDATE:
I used to have a host and domain and this website worked perfectly there, So it Not a website problem
UPDATE2
some pictures load ok and some don't.some fonts are ok and some don't.chrome's developer console states an 404 error message for missing files and scripts and when I go to them via url,I get the error message above(which indeed is a 404 error message)
UPDATE3
I added woff and webm formats to MIME types so now these types of files work.But still some javascript files won't work since they are using json I json format and json is not added yet to the list of MIME types
What can I do so that ALL TYPES OF FILES are allowed?
Modify your web.config like
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
...
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff2" />
...
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
I had a web.config in one of the websites on my IIS that was adding a support for .7z file extension. When I later added a global .7z support at the server level, this site was broken - IIS Manager is complaining that it "cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'mimeMap'..." and all web requests to i.g. CSS files ended with an HTTP 500 error.
I was using this in the site's web.config:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".7z" mimeType="application/x-7z-compressed" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
Is there maybe some other syntax that would add 7z to the list only if it wasn't defined yet?
According to this, you should remove the global setting in the special config before adding it in a different form.
Explcitly:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".7z" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".7z" mimeType="application/x-7z-compressed" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
Of course this doesn't really help you now as you might just as well drop the local setting completely (as it's likely to coincide with the global setting). But if you had known this back when you added local 7zip support, you wouldn't have encountered the error now ...
If i have a page on my website called blah.aspx then there will be another file there called
blah.aspx.vb
I can browse to blah.aspx but if I try to browse to blah.aspx.vb, I'll get 'file not found' page.
If I change the name of blah.aspx.vb to blah.zip it can be downloaded via the browser.
If I change the name to blah.qaz I'll get the 'file not found' again.
I suspect that the server will not allow the .aspx.vb file to be downloaded but if it doesn't protect a .zip file why does it protect a made up .qaz or is that just a shortcoming of the browser?
Are there file extensions that a server will actively protect?
Are there file extensions it deliberately won't hide (e.g zip)?
What are the rules and where can you find them?
IIS 7 maps 'allowed' extensions (or extensions that it will handle) in the applicationhost.config file.
If you really want to allow a 'qaz' extension, you could add a mimeMap to add it as static content. Don't know what webserver you're using, but if you're on II7+, you should be able to add it to your web.config:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".qaz" mimeType="text/plain" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
If you're on an earlier version of IIS, then it's a different ballgame. If you're on some other webserver, you'll have to search around for the configuration information, but most will have some configuration file that states which extensions they are ok serving.
I'm trying to set a ".svg" image as background-image using css, but it is not working. The url is valid and returns 200 status code and works on ".png" images.
What is the problem?
Your IIS is most likely not configured with SVG as a content type, try adding
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
</staticContent>
inside the <system.webServer> scope of your web.config.
This will of course only work if your application is the one serving up the svg. If the svg is not contained inside your application but in a separate directory of the web server, you'll need to add the same mapping to your web server instead inside the "mime-types" tab.
Try This - Your App/Website under Default Settings of IIS Manager
Then "Add" -> { .svg : image/svg+xml }
from web.config
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".svg" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
or in IIS
go to MIME Types and add file name extension:.svg
MIME Type: image/svg+xml
In my case, I included all of the mime-types I wanted in the applicationHost.config file (which is usually located at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config) under the <system.webServer> scope, like Joachim Isaksson mentioned. This allows all of my IIS sites to inherit the same mime-types, and gives you one location to change them if something goes wrong.
Just in case, if anyone want to use IIS Manager for the same, select 'top node' on 'Connections' tree (typically the name of the machine you're on), and on right side, locate 'MIME Types' in 'IIS' section - double click the same. You should see list of all file types with 'Entry Type' as 'Local'. Add '.svg' type as mentioned by posts above (which amends same file as mentioned by 'Markaius'). This enables to 'inherit' same MIME type for any application on the machine.
