It does matter.. If IIS (Microsoft's web server) doesn't know the file type, it won't serve it -- period. It doesn't know .wads or .navs or .bz2's... You have to add those into IIS so it knows those files are safe to provide for downloading... That's just the way IIS is. The answer is completely valid.
It's not a problem in Linux world -- most web servers in linux don't care -- you give a directory, as long as it has read access, it will provide the file... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of =Vu= pietjenl Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 11:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] sv_downloadurl woes (happens everytime) -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Dont get that answer, the redirect doesnt matter what sort of filetype u use only steam must know it.
