I am working with a legacy swf file that is looking in the controller/action routing for a static route. For example, it is trying to download the file
http://localhost:59801/Resource/Details/ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
When the file exists in the root directory:
http://localhost:59801/ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
Can I use MapRoute
to map this URL to the root directory?
You could use the url rewrite
module in IIS. Once you install it simply add the following rewrite rule:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite Static Flash file" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^Resource/Details/ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
Now when a request is made to /Resource/Details/ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
it will be served by /ClearExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
.
This should work for you, but I think this would be better through IIS.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{file}.swf");
I remember a SO post that was really good. If I find it, I'll be sure to reference.
Basically the same question... Using ASP.NET routing to serve static files
