Author IIS6.0 get returns 0 content-length for managed file

We have a file management system that serves fles. In IIS5.0 we have a
virtual directory pointing to the managed files and a get works fine. In IIS
6.0 the same set-up returns an empty file (content-length:0).

Please define "the same set-up"

Is the file management system local or over the network? UNC share or some
other construct? ACLs? User Identities configured? Application Pool
Identity? Is a file served as a static file or do you configure something
else to access the file management system? Is the file management system
supported to work against IIS6? Etc.

Until you define these things (and more), it is not clear whether you
accidentally got an insecure setup working on IIS5, something incompatible
about the file management system, or some incompatibility in IIS6.

> We have an IIS 5.0 site set to point to a set of directories containing files (mostly tiffs) through a share with an authorized user (connect As). We set up an IIS 6 site to point to the same share using the same authorized user. The IIS 5.0 site ret

urns a file (get /dir1/file1.tif) - the IIS 6.0 site returns a zero length file (get /dir1/file1.tif). The files are stored on optical disk and managed by third party software (DiskXtender). The files are retrievable using IIS5 and Windows Explorer but
not IIS 6.0. The vendor claims no problem with the application since Windows Explorer work fine as does IIS 5.
