Hi!
Situation:
- We use files with custom extensions, lets say .abcd
- For this abcd type of files we have custom program, lets say abcdmanager - file type is assosiated with the program abcdmanager in Windows, so clicking on file X.abcd abcdmanager opens it in Windows explorer
- Actually those .abcd files are xml files
- We use IE 8-10 and IIS 7-8 in our environment
- If I try to open -abcd file from IIS site I'll get error 404.3 - because MIME type for abcd type of files is not registered
Questions:
- Is it somehow possible on IE side to declare that abcd files should be automatcally opened with abcdmanager from IIS site?
- If I declare .abcd MIME type in IIS as application/octet-stream, IE browser will open it as XML file in browser (probably because the content of abcd file is in xml format) - what to do to assosiate abcd file with our customa application abcdmanager in IIS?
Thanks!,
UV
