[ACCEPTED]-.msg file gives download error-http-status-code-404
Found on ASP.NET forum.
Create a handler, download 5 it as a file:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=Message.msg");
Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath(YourPathToMsgFile));
Response.End();
or change the setting in IIS 4 6.0:
Select HTTP Header -> click MIME 3 types - > Click New and add ".msg" as 2 extension and "application/vnd.ms-outlook" as 1 MIME type.
using this tag below we can directly mention 3 the file name to the tag.
<a href="Your File_Location">Download Link</a>
no need to specify 2 the code in the controller.
just add below 1 tag to web.config inside
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".msg" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".msg" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>

Here is the another response that I found 7 on ASP.NET Forum. Included here to as time 6 saver.
If ASP.NET Core is handling the static 5 content itself and is running at the edge, or 4 if you need ASP.NET Core to be aware of 3 mime types, you need to configure ASP.NET 2 Core's handler to be aware of it using FileExtensionContentTypeProvider 1 like below :
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
// Set up custom content types - associating file extension to MIME type
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
// Replace an existing mapping
provider.Mappings[".msg"] = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "wwwroot", "images")),
RequestPath = "/StaticContentDir",
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
