Why Does IIS 6.0 Block Requests for Some File Types That Are Requested by the Updater?

0

Earlier versions of IIS include a wildcard character MIME mapping, which permits IIS to serve any file regardless of its extension. IIS 6.0 does not include this wildcard character MIME mapping and does not serve any type of extension that is not defined at the MIMIE Map node in the IIS metabase. You have to define the MIME type in IIS for the specific file extension. To define the MIME type in IIS for the specific file extension • Open the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC), right-click the virtual directory , and then click Properties. • On the HTTP Headers page, click MIME Types. • Click New. • In the Extension box, type required extension for example.pdb. • In the MIME type box, type a valid MIME type (for example, binary). • Apply the new settings. IIS now serves files with the extension that you added. In this example, IIS now serves files with the extension specified in step 4.
