Author Can not read .dat and .dll files via IIS
News User

I am trying to publish a Sophos Virus checker program via an IIS folder. The
Sophos program tries to download itself but gets stuck when trying to access
..dat and .dll files.

When trying to access these files manually via IE I get page can not be
found errors.

I thought it was the ISA server that the website is published via but it
also fails locally to the IIS when on the same subnet.

Is this a common problem????

Cheers

Tim

I take that back. It is the published version through the ISA server that is
stopping it!

Locally its ok.

That sounds like URLscan is blocking those file types. You could zip the
whole program up for download... or modify URLscan to allow those file
types.

Hello,

You probably want to add some MIME types.
