MIME Settings

[Guest]

I have created a virtual directory inside my web service from which I wish to
download files to my client applications using http and webrequest. All my
files are compressed files and that is how I wish the client application to
receive them. I note that there is a MIME type called gzip. Is this what I
need to declare my files as in my virtual directory to allow me to download
them. I currently get a 404 File not found error when I try to access them
from my client application.

I don't think you would be getting a 404 if MIME settings was a problem,
make sure that you can download the file using IE or some other browser.

Thanks Sijin for keeping me from barking up the wrong tree. I can browse to
the folder containing all my files and see them listed. Its just when I try
to to a web request for a specific file that I get the 404 error. I am
guessing I have permission problems still.
