I'm having problems creating and accessing a well-known folder in an MVC 5 Web App. I need the folder to house some documents for iOS and Android mobile apps.
First, I add a well-known folder to my MVC 5 Web App. I could not add a .well-known folder. Since I could not add the "." in front of the folder, I added a virtual directory using the Azure Portal.
This seems to work, but When I try to access the files using https://portal.mydomain.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association or this https://portal.mydomain.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json, I get the following message.
"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
When I try to access just the directory using https://portal.mydomain.com/.well-known/ I get the following message.
"You do not have permission to view this directory or page."
Finally, I added this to my web.config in order to handle the lack of a file extension on the apple-app-site-association file.
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
I added a new web.config file to my well-known folder and configured it like so. I can now access both files. This is a new web.config and has nothing to do with the web.config in the root directory. Using this config, the apple-app-site-association downloads a file when I access it using a web browser. The assetlinks.json file displays in the web page, so they behave differently.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I commented out this entry in my root directory web.config because I did not need it.
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>

I have X the same applications in IIS(some code/exe, but different config file).
Would it be possible to put duplicate files to some folder?
For example I have applications:
Canada.weather.com
usa.weather.com
mexico.weather.com
Uses same .dll and .exe, but have different config.
As Lex says, we don't suggest you to put duplicate files to some folder. If one of the dll is missed or not, it will make all the sites down.
If you still want to do this , you could apply the setting in applicationHost.config and wrapping it in a tag.
The applicationhost.config file path :
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Each sites will have its own location, you could add the custome configuration inside each location tag.
Like belowl, I enable the windows auth for "BrandoTestSite":
<location path="BrandoTestSite">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authentication>
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
<anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
</authentication>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>
Notice: This way is lower maintainability. We don't suggest you choose this way to manage mutiple application.
I have a CDN I have created using the Verizon Premium SKU. when it comes to fonts I get "from origin 'https://myfqdn.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource"
However, I have followed this doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-cors with no luck.
However, if I go to my https://cdn.myfqdn.com (yes I have a custom domain and https enabled) the page loads however with no issues.
Here is the XML from the rule that I created from the doc above.

Thanks for your help
I was also facing this issue in my blog. All the files were loading from the CDN except fonts and icons. I had to do two things. One is to allow all the origins in the Azure web app and the other is to configure the files in IIS by editing the web.config.
Just login to your Azure portal, and go to your Azure web application. Click on the CORS menu under API and * as the allowed origin.
By default files with .woff2, .woff, and .ttf extensions are not served by IIS in Azure App Service. That is the reason for this CORS issue. We will add these configurations in the system.webServer tag which is the child tag of configuration tag.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension="woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff2" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".ttf" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".ttc" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".otf" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
You can also do this by adding the extension called “Enable Static Web Fonts”. I have written a detailed blog about this, you can read it here.
I published my website on azure (A Web API) which contains a video file. The problem is I can access to the image file, but I cannot to the .mp4 file and get the following error:
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
You must update the web.config by adding the .mp4 mimetype to solve the issue:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
Adding to my web.config
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
Allows my application to run on Azure, but will crash my remote IIS server because its already included. Removing the remote IIS mimeType is not practical in this particular case. I end up using a different web.config
Is there another mechanism by which I can configure Azure IIS mimeType so I don't have this problematic web.config?
I would like a single deployment package that will work on Azure and non Azure.
This should work:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".json" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>

This doesn't make any difference to your overall IIS configuration, it just conditionally removes the mimeMap from the configuration of this particular site (as governed by this web.config) before adding it again.
You can create a startup task that adds the mime type on IIS level. This way you won't need to include it in your web.config:
"%windir%\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe" set config /section:staticContent /+"[fileExtension='.json',mimeType='application/json']"
exit /b 0
Is there any way I can have IIS 7.0+ (or 7.5+) configured such that for certain paths Request Filtering is completely disabled. That is,
http://host.local/foo/bar.cs
is forbidden (since serving *.cs files is explicitly forbidden in applicationHost.config), but
http://host.local/foo/allow-all/bar.cs
is allowed.
In your allow-all directory, you can create a web.config file with the following configuration:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<fileExtensions>
<remove fileExtension=".cs" />
</fileExtensions>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".cs" mimeType="text/plain" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
This configuration removes the .cs extension from the request filtering. Additionally, for IIS to properly serve content, it needs a MIME type, so the .cs extension is added as text/plain.
These changes will also apply to all child directories of allow-all. This configuration works with an Integrated App Pool. Classic may require additional changes since there are HTTP handlers that explicitly disallow .cs as well.
