iis hiding files?

[IHateMyJob2004]

I have an odd problem.

I have svg files on an iis web server. When you use a web browser to view the directory contants, abc.svg is there. Click the link, and you get a file not found error.

Change the extension from svg to xml and it works as expected.

Why doesn't iis let me grab files with extension svg? I can see them, but I can't DL them?

EDIT: Finally the google worked!

Any ideas? Is this it?

Yes, you need to put a mime into your invisible box.

It worked. At first I didn't think it did till I figured out that the iis service (and related services) needed to be restarted. Upon restart, it was golden!

I can't believe svg is not a default though.
