404.17 Error showing after adding a Wildcard '*' Mime type (IIS 7)

asp-classic, iis, iis-7, mime-types

Solution

I simply changed it to `.` instead of `*` for Extension in MIME Type, and it worked perfectly. Thanks to the comments.

Problem

I am trying to make extensionless url's (`domain.com/urlwithoutextension`) to be readable by my web server as an .html or .asp file, and all I'm getting is ``` HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler. ``` Then below the error it says I can try this: ` If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map. ` So I added a MIME map in IIS 7.. ``` Extension: * MIME Type: application/octet-stream ``` But I'm still getting this error. All I want to do is make it so `domain.com/thisurl` to be viewed as a .html file, without the .html extension. Help?
