Re: Serving WebResource.axd files

If there is a better place for this post, please let me know.

I've created my own webserver using VB.NET (using System.Web.Hosting).

It works great (.aspx, .gif, etc. files are getting to the browser) except that WebResource.axd files do not reach the browser after being served. (I can pop up their contents in the vb app-- so they are coming from ASP.NET just fine-- but the functions inside [javascript mainly] are not available in the browser.

WebResource.axd is a "virtual" file that the framework uses to serve the necessary embedded resources that an ASP.NET page needs (javascript functions, in this case, to work with the Menu control).

These .axd files show up in C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 so they are definitely being created. Is this maybe a permissions issue?

Has anyone seen this problem in Cassini and/or using System.Web.Hosting? Any ideas what might be causing it?

Thanks! [/quote]

First of all, sorry for bumbing this old thread, but just in case anyone is still looking for a solution, you need to define the correct Content-Type for each web-resource you use.

Check this entry in my blog, that describes it a little bit better.
