Hi DWs

 

Is it possible to set Content-Disposition for some files?

 

.hex, .bin

 

its making some problems for a client that the browser sets the files as zip files.

You can from web.config:

 

http://serverfault.com/questions/320450/conditionally-set-content-disposition-header

 

But you cannot be sure it always works. IE i.e. will serve .png as image no matter what you send out.

Nic, where should I put the rewrite section without messing up dynamicweb?

Just below   </system.serviceModel> before </configuration> ends?

Just put it in the node structure below. You probably have system.webserver node already, add the rewrite node and add your outboundrules node inside the rewrite node. 

 

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>

Hi Nicolai.

 

I have put this together to the rewrite. Do you notice any problems?

 

     <rewrite>
    <outboundRules>
    <rule name="download hex filer" preCondition="ErHex">
    <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Content-Disposition" pattern=".*" />
    <conditions>
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(.*)\\([^/]+)\.hex$" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" value="attachment; filename={C:2}.hex" />
    </rule>
    <preConditions>
    <preCondition name="ErHex">
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.hex$" />
    </preCondition>
    </preConditions>
    </outboundRules>



    <outboundRules>
    <rule name="download bin filer" preCondition="ErBin">
    <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Content-Disposition" pattern=".*" />
    <conditions>
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(.*)\\([^/]+)\.bin$" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" value="attachment; filename={C:2}.bin" />
    </rule>
    <preConditions>
    <preCondition name="ErBin">
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.bin$" />
    </preCondition>
    </preConditions>
    </outboundRules>


    </rewrite>

It seems ok. But notice I have not tried this at home!

 

Also make sure you merge these configurations into one Ouboundrules node.
