If I understand you correctly you need your web client (browser) to display files without extension as served by the web server (IIS). I don't think it'd depend on any server-side settings, but if you set it to &quot;application/octet-stream&quot;<wbr /> (check spelling) I don't think it'd do any good. How about using &quot;text/plain&quot; instead?

I tried text/plain and application/octet-stream. &nbsp;Neither work.. It's a text file for if I put a .txt on the end of it the browser will display it.. But.. &nbsp;The app that uploads these files leaves the extension off.. I'll try ivostoykov's post above.. brb

This worked! &nbsp;I put in &quot;.&quot; at the extension and set the MIME to &quot;text/plain&quot;

This worked!  I put in "." at the extension and set the MIME to "text/plain"

how to display text files that do not have extensions

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
