title: IIS Web.config - Ensure Detection of Files with No File Extensions
body: <p>I'm trying to perform a verification process by posting a file onto my domain.  Then, from the company admin portal, I should be able to browse to that file and complete the verification process.  It fails because my site returns a 404 Error stating the resource doesn't exist, when it actually does.  How do I get my web.config to recognize a request for a file with no file extension?!</p>
  
  <p>In my web.config, but this doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>`&lt;configuration&gt;
       &lt;system.webServer&gt;
          &lt;staticContent&gt;
             &lt;mimeMap fileExtension="*" mimeType="text/plain" /&gt;
          &lt;/staticContent&gt;
                                .
                                . 
                                .`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>@LexLi, answered this question!  Here's how I updated my web.config file (below).</p>
  
  <pre><code>`&lt;configuration&gt;
       &lt;system.webServer&gt;
          &lt;staticContent&gt;
             &lt;mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/plain" /&gt;
          &lt;/staticContent&gt;
                                .
                                . 
                                .`
  </code></pre>
