asp.net core - How to serve static file with no extension
Adding an alternative solution. You have to set ServeUnknownFileTypes to true and after that set the default content type.
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
ServeUnknownFileTypes = true,
DefaultContentType = "text/plain"
});
Rather than fighting with static files, I think you'd be better off just creating a controller for it:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.IO;
namespace MyApp.Controllers {
[Route("apple-app-site-association")]
public class AppleController : Controller {
private IHostingEnvironment _hostingEnvironment;
public AppleController(IHostingEnvironment environment) {
_hostingEnvironment = environment;
}
[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> Index() {
return Content(
await File.ReadAllTextAsync(Path.Combine(_hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath, "apple-app-site-association")),
"text/plain"
);
}
}
}
This assumes your apple-app-site-association
file is in your wwwroot folder.
An easier option may be to put a file with a proper extension on the server, and then use URL rewrite as follows.
app.UseRewriter(new RewriteOptions()
.AddRewrite("(.*)/apple-app-site-association", "$1/apple-app-site-association.json", true));
