I'm not sure how to server .aspx files with node-static.
I am using node-static to serve .html .js .css, and images (works as expected), but when I request test.aspx (a file in the public folder) it prompts the browser(s) (Chrome and FF) to download as a file, when I want it to be treated as HTML (text/html).
node code is really basic
var node_static = require('node-static');
var node_static_file = new(node_static.Server)('./public');
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
// static file server
req.addListener('end', function () {
node_static_file.serve(req, res, function (err, result) {
if (err) { // There was an error serving the file
res.writeHead(err.status, err.headers);
res.write("Error: Page " + err.message + " (" + err.status + ")");
res.end();
}
});
});
}).listen(80);
Thanks,
This is due to node-static not knowing what kind of file aspx
is. Currently it looks like there is no default way to extend the mine types of node-static.
You can see in the code that if the mime type does not exist that Content-Type is set to application/octet-stream
. A quick hack would to go into your node_modules
directory and edit the lib/node-static/mime.js
file and include a aspx
extension and give it a content type of text/html
.
