Hi, I'm facing a problem that I cannot download/view a .ini file in IIS6,
even if I create a new web service extension to allow it the same 404 error
is shown, and this is blocking an integration routine I had in IIS5.

I read something about a flag in the server extension entry that disables
manipulating it via UI but that's all I found. If that's the case, does
anyone can help me pointing somewhere for me to learn how to deal with these
non UI elements in the server extensions?


Thanks a lot,
Victor

I don't think you want to setup a new Web Service Extension. That is only
for adding ISAPI Extensions etc.
Instead you want to define a MIME type for .ini files:
