Hello i want to download a file with a .TOS extention and i don't want to have .TXT files to open in my browser, but instant download (with leftclick, not rightclick save as)
as they are attachments i like to download them to my pc and not open them in my browser.
currently i get a big (IIS 403.3) error if i leftclick a tos file since there is no MIME type.
i cant change that since it is a hosted environment. On the same hosted environment i have another type of forum that has no problems with serving teh download.
I get a lot of complaints about the error and not bieng able to download the file.
sample forum that does download properly on leftclick:
http://www.realmsofgondor.com/index...204#msg204 same (.tos) file on the AF
http://www.it-pro.nl/Forums/ActiveF...fault.aspx the exact error that occurs when left click on a (.TOS or unknown) filetype
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.
possible problem
•It is possible that a handler mapping is missing. By default, the static file handler processes all content.
a possible solution:
•In system.webServer/handlers:
◦Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped.
◦Pay extra attention to preconditions (for example, runtimeVersion, pipelineMode, bitness) and compare them to the settings for your application pool.
◦Pay extra attention to typographical errors in the expected handler line.
so my guess is that it can be fixed somehow with code. (that other forum works...)
Thanks,
Paul
