Re: UriTemplate with wildcard not matching file extension?

There is a behavior difference between VS Web Development server and IIS when it comes to matching extensions. Did you see if this works in IIS?

Sorry for the double post. It said it failed so I posted again.

I don't see a way to delete my own posts so I guess it has to stay :(

Did you ever get a resolution on this issue?

I am having the same problem. I would like to include a file extension and once I do the webservice returns the same error you are describing here.

Here is my code

<OperationContract()> <WebGet(UriTemplate:=

"vi/{filename}?id={id}")> Function GetSomeKmz(ByVal filename As String, ByVal id As String) As System.IO.Stream

If I do not add a file extension it works fine:

As soon as I add a file extension it does not work

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

I am using WCF REST RC2.

My service is defined like this:

   [WebGet(UriTemplate = "media/{*uri}")]
   [OperationContract]
   public Stream GetMedia(string uri)
   {
      ...
   }

My problem is that this matches "media/foo" and "media/foo/bar" but not "media/foo/bar.png"

As soon as I put an extension in the URL, it is not matched by the template and I get a "resource cannot be found" error.

Any ideas?
