Hi,

Files with a 'SLDDRW' extention show up on the website using the Filepublish module. But when clicked on, a 404 page returns.

The url of the document is "..../Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=Files%2fFiler%2fCAD_documentation%2fOil_mist%2fMistEliminator%2fSolidWorks%2fME-31.SLDDRW"

Other extensions do work (also when a SLDDRW file is renamed to another extention)

The file exists and isn't corrupt.

This file DOES work, also a long extention : "..../Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=Files%2fFiler%2fCAD_documentation%2fOil_mist%2fMistEliminator%2fSolidWorks%2fFan+Housing.SLDPRT"

What can be going on here?

Thanks,

Ton

Hi Ton

It is because the SLDDRW file extension is not known by IIS. You need to add it with an appropiate mime type in IIS.

This article describes how you can do that:

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/staticcontent/mimemap

The appropiate mime type is application/octet-stream
