IIS refuses to serve static .gltf files
Turned out I am using a custom FileServerProvider because I need IoC container to inject it into some controllers later on. (Similar fix works on UseStaticFiles() in Configure method, if the .gltf is in wwwroot.)
In ConfigureServices:
var fileProviderOptions = new FileServerOptions
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(_ContentStorePath),
RequestPath = new PathString("/ContentStore")
};
fileProviderOptions.StaticFileOptions.ContentTypeProvider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
((FileExtensionContentTypeProvider)fileProviderOptions
.StaticFileOptions.ContentTypeProvider).Mappings[".gltf"] = "model/gltf+json";
services.AddSingleton<IFileServerProvider>(new FileServerProvider(
new List<FileServerOptions> { fileProviderOptions }
));
So, I had to tell it what gltf is in code. StaticFileOptions is read-only, and ContentTypeProvider is an interface, so a few hoops need jumping through.
In retrospect, maybe this question was better suited to StackOverflow after all.
