I am trying to make Asp.net website to cache static files to the browser client.
I followed these steps
My web config:
<configuration>
<!-- elements removed for readability -->
<location path="content">
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="100:00:00" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
However, requesting a js file from the Content folder does not cache the file:
What i am doing wrong? I really need to fix this problem.
Removing System.Web.StaticFileHandler configurations from web.config fixed the issue, but i don't know if this is the correct way to solve the problem:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<handlers>
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
<!-- Removing these rules makes the cache to work.
With them, it doesn't work
<add verb="GET" path="*.js" name="Static for js" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.css" name="Static for css" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.png" name="Static for png" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.jpg" name="Static for jpg" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
-->
</handlers>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="100:00:00" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>

I've tried to change the WEB CONFIG to the following per older questions but it's still now working. -
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV"/>
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0"/>
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler"/>
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler"/>

preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0"/>
</handlers>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

</system.webServer>
Any suggestions?
Thank in advance
I have created a .Net project 4.6 using web api.
just for simplicity purpose, I created default.htm in the parent directory. I publish my project to localhost, and set up the default document to default.htm as per the screenshot:
published web.config:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="None" />
<compilation targetFramework="4.6" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.2" />
<httpModules>
<add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web" />
</httpModules>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<modules>
<remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
<remove name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" />
<add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web" preCondition="managedHandler" />

However, whenever I navigate to http://localhost/, it always returns 404 as per the screenshot below: Can someone please help? Thanks
I am using port 80:
All published Web Site in IIS need to have a port like this:
1.Assuming you are using the port of 8462.
2.Try to navigate this url = localhost:8462
Make sure your asp.net has been registered to your IIS like this aspnet_regiis -i
Good Luck!
I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 project that uses dotless for parsing/compiling .less files and standard bundler for minifying/bundling js files.
The issue is that on production server cache-conrole header is set to max-age=0, no-cache, no-store when locally on IIS express it's set to public and expires in a year.
Dotless config: <dotless minifyCss="true" cache="true" web="true" handleWebCompression="false" />
Bundle config - just includes and BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;
Few web config sections that may help:
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>
...
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="Prerender" type="Prerender.io.PrerenderModule, Prerender.io, Version=1.0.0.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"/>
<add name="Spring" type="Spring.Context.Support.WebSupportModule, Spring.Web" />
<add name="OpenSessionInView" type="Spring.Data.NHibernate.Support.OpenSessionInViewModule, Spring.Data.NHibernate32" />
</modules>
...
<handlers>
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
<add name="dotless" path="*.less" verb="GET" type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler,dotless.Core" resourceType="File" preCondition="" />
</handlers>
I tried to add mime maps to staticContent section. Also thought about adding request headers in iis, but it works only for files/folders so it likely will not serve bundle.
What have I missed in configs? I appreciate any idea for fixing the issue.
Check if you got in your web.config that stuff:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false"/>
I'm working on single page application which consumes WebApi for data manipulation. My site was hosted on Windows Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7.5.7600.16385) and working fine, however after migration to Windows Server 2012 R2 (IIS 8.5.9600.16384) HTTP PATCH VERBS are not working, api call returns with status code 400 "Bad Request". I have tried following code snippet in web.config but got no luck.

Googling again and again but got nothing useful, I'm stuck here, Any help would be appreciated.
These are the web.config settings I used when I had a similar problem with PUT requests after moving servers.
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
When I tried to send API call outside from network, everything was working as expected. Further investigations reveals that network firewall policy was problematic. By mistake production server was blacklisted by NOC team.
Thanks all for your efforts :)
I am trying to implement static files cache in the ASP.net mvc application.
What i did:
I've added into Content folder a web.config file with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlCustom="public" cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="300.0:00:00" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
In the website web.config file, i commented out some lines of code:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<handlers>
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
<!-- Commented them out
<add verb="GET" path="*.js" name="Static for js" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.css" name="Static for css" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.png" name="Static for png" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.jpg" name="Static for jpg" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
-->
</handlers>
Now, publishing the website and inspecting the resources, i get the folowing response:
I see is missing the Expire header ?! (shouldn't it be there in order for cache to work)
Does the response headers tell the browser to cache the resource for the next 25920000 seconds?
I am doing things correctly in order to cache the static files?
This is correct, and you should be fine.
Some might say you should add Expires, too, for clients which do not understand HTTP/1.1, but as already argued in the first linked article, that shouldn't be a real concern, even less now, 7 years later.
