    Problem with downloading certain files from Media

    Hello,

    I uploaded some files to Media, created a downloadable link in View like so:

    @{
        var linkToMedia = Model.Value<Link>("linkToMedia");
        if (linkToMedia != null)
       {
            <a download href="@linkToMedia.Url">@linkToMedia.Name</a>
       }
    }
    

    While this works well for common file extensions such as pdf and doc, it fails to download files such as rvt.

    We are using .NET Core and hosting our website on IIS if that matters. I already tried adding said extension to IIS but did not help.

    Is Umbraco perhaps blocking uncommon file extensions? Or do I need to explicitly allow extensions?

    P.S. Our rvt files weigh over 40MB so I already increased the size limit of uploaded files in Media via IIS but when I click the uploaded file in Media, navigating to https://localhost:44310/media/x0dcaaju/test.rvt it returns Status Code: 404; Not Found.

    I think it missing mime type in iis, you can add it manually in web.config or IIS manager

    You probably need to add the mime type to allow it to be downloaded
