From: Ross Presser on 15 Feb 2010 19:33 One web site in particular needs to be able to deliver files with .inc extensions, treating them as ordinary static files, NOT server-side includes. Right now IIS6 is just giving me a 404 every time. I have added a mime type mapping to plain/text, first tried at the server level, then at the site level. No joy. How can I do this?

To reiterate, I *want* the webserver to deliver them as plain text to the web client. For the record, they do not contain any server executable code at all. Yes, it was probably a bad choice to use .inc as the extension but is there anything I can do? It's ironic that 90% of the hits on my search for .inc files was warnings not to use that extension because webservers serve it as plain text. That's EXACTLY WHAT I WANT but I can't get my server to do it.

MIME type changes probably require a full IIS restart or OS restart. One of those two things probably happened after your configuration, but for an unrelated reason.
