Question

I have a WCF WebApi Rest service that has the following endpoints:

[WebGet(UriTemplate = "{id}")]

and

[WebGet(UriTemplate = "{id}.pdf")]

The first endpoint returns JSON and the second endpoint returns a pdf. Both of these endpoints work in my local environment, but the pdf endpoint returns a 404 on the server running IIS7.

Is there some sort of setup IIS7 that is needed in order for the route to get executed?

Answer 1

I found the solution to this problem. It is a simple web.config addition:

<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
      <add name="PDFHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*.pdf" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>
