I'm running self hosted Nancy web application on Owin and have troubles with static content.
Let's say my application runs from this folder:
c:/myfolder/
My Views are in here:
c:/myfolder/Manager/Views/
so in my browser I can go to http://localhost:85/Manager and my page loads.
I simply can't make it to serve static content though, all my files are in /Content folder, I tried to place it both to /myfolder and /Manager folder with no luck.
Neither http://localhost:85/Manager/Content/css/styles.css nor http://localhost:85/Content/css/styles.css urls work
How do I get it to work?
Fixed the problem by adding these lines of code to Startup :
using Microsoft.Owin.FileSystems;
using Microsoft.Owin.StaticFiles;
...
var options = new FileServerOptions()
{
RequestPath = PathString.Empty,
FileSystem = new PhysicalFileSystem("/Path/here")
};
app.UseFileServer(options);

I have a Blazor Server 6.0 app where I have links to download .msg files.
I have setup IIS to serve that mime-type trying both application/octet-stream and application/vnd.ms-outlook (and restarting IIS)
I have also tried to put in web.config the staticcontent tag like suggested here:
.msg file gives download error
And obviously in my program.cs I have app.UseStaticFiles();
I try to put the .msg in a non-blazor app and they work ok, so I think is not IIS related
So why I cannot download (or open automatically in outlook) this type of file, while other (docx, pdf, zip, etc.) are Ok ?
ASP.NET Core -- on the server side -- also needs to know about the files it has to serve. You can enable serving all unknown file types (I'd rather not include the relevant code as it is a major security risk), or you can add you own additional mappings like so:
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings[".msg"] = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";
// app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
More info in the official docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/static-files?view=aspnetcore-7.0#fileextensioncontenttypeprovider
Additionally, Blazor Server registers custom options for serving static files (like .server.js, which is different from just .js). It's not directly exposed as a public API to configure, but you can look at the source here as to what the AddServerSideBlazor extension method actually does. The solution there relies on you calling UseStaticFiles without explicitly specifying the options, so that it can retrieve the StaticFilesOptions instance from DI.
Armed with this knowledge, you can override an already configured options instance as follows:
builder.Services.PostConfigure<StaticFileOptions>(o =>
{
((FileExtensionContentTypeProvider)o.ContentTypeProvider).Mappings[".msg"] = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";
});
This configures the already initialized options instance registered in the DI (after all other configurations happened on it, thus PostConfigure).
Note that if you would for whatever reason decide to use a different IContentTypeProvider, the unsafe cast above would need to be revised as well.
I have .net core web API PROJECT. I want to put some static images in this project.I have below code in start up file
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
// Add new mappings
provider.Mappings[".myapp"] = "application/x-msdownload";
provider.Mappings[".htm3"] = "text/html";
provider.Mappings[".image"] = "image/png";
provider.Mappings[".png"] = "image/png";
// Replace an existing mapping
provider.Mappings[".rtf"] = "application/x-msdownload";
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), #"MyStaticFiles")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/StaticFiles"),
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
when I run or deployed this web project, i have checked under it has StaticFiles folder has test.png
when I browse for test.tt/StaticFiles/test.png, or test.tt/wwwroot/StaticFiles/test.png or test.tt/wwwroot/StaticFiles/images/test.png
browser is not loading that image, it is displaying white page, where I check on network console of by F12,it is delivering response of type document and json.
My problem is image is not displaying, i have tried more images but not helpful.I am sure there is image,folder in my path.
can you tell how if I browse test.png,direct hitting path to get static file .net core WEB API images?
By default, static files go into the wwwroot in your project root. Calling app.UseStaticFiles(), causes this directory to be served at the base path of the site, i.e. /. As such, a file like wwwroot/images/test.png would be available at /images/test.png (note: without the wwwroot part).
I'm not sure what in the world you're doing with the rest of this code here, but you're essentially adding an additional served directory at [project root]/MyStaticFiles, which will then be served at /StaticFiles. As such, first, test.png would have to actually be in MyStaticFiles, not wwwroot, and then you'd access by requesting /StaticFiles/test.png.
However, there's no need for this other directory. If you simply want to add some additional media types, you can do that via:
services.Configure<StaticFileOptions>(o =>
{
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings.Add(".myapp", "application/x-msdownload");
// etc.
o.ContentTypeProvider = provider;
});
And then just use:
app.UseStaticFiles();
Nothing else is required.
I am developing a chatbot using NodeJS and BotBuilder. I have the file chatbot.jpg stored in a folder named image. This sits just beneath the root directory. I am able to display the image (using Kudu to find the URL) in a web browser as follows:
https://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/images/chatbot.jpg
If I remove the .scm element within the URL, I can no longer display the image.
Even more curiously, if I use the above URL in my bot code, the image doesn't display.
var welcomeCard = new builder.HeroCard(session)
.title("This is the new")
.subtitle('Virtual Assistant')
.images([
new builder.CardImage(session)
.url("http://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/images/chatbot.jpg")
alt("Virtual Assistant")
]);
session.send(new builder.Message(session)
.addAttachment(welcomeCard));
My question is, how do I find out the regular URL of the image stored in the Azure App Service, so that I can use it in my code?
From the public web, the URL should be https://mysite.azurewebsites.net/images/chatbot.jpg
The wwwroot folder is the root folder served by the app service.
Your code can't just the scm URL as that URL requires you to be logged in to the Azure portal; it's an admin URL.
To accomplish your goal, you need to configure your Restify server to serve static files.
Example Restify config (add to your bot code):
server.get(/\/images\/?.*/, restify.serveStatic({
directory: './images'
}));
i have set the static web directory for use in my nodejs app:
app.use express.static(process.cwd(), 'www')
This brings up all the static files like css, images etc, when im in the root it works
http://localhost:8124/
however if i go to somewhere like /tags, it deosnt bring up the static files:
http://localhost:8124/tags/
i get 404 error on the console because its trying to access the www folder
with
/tags/www/ ....
im not sure how to solve this problem, thanks
It looks like you're referring to static assets, without leading /, this results in appending relative asset address to the current URL. Instead refer to your static assets with leading /
eg. /www/style.css rather than www/style.css
Where do I add a static html file "mycoolpage.html" to a MVC4 project so it will be served when requesting "mysite.cloudapp.net/mycoolpage.html" when deployed to azure?
I've tried adding it to the project and setting up routes like
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.html");
and tried returning it from a controller using the following route
routes.MapRoute(
"mycoolsite.html",
"mycoolsite.html",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Coolsite" }
);
Have you tried: routes.IgnoreRoute("*.html"), with the file in the root folder of your MVC site?
