title: using IIS to serve files without extension as plain text
body: <p>I've tried using an answer from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19950882/iis-how-to-serve-a-file-without-extension">IIS: How to serve a file without extension?</a></p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
   &lt;configuration&gt;
       &lt;system.webServer&gt;
           &lt;staticContent&gt;
               &lt;mimeMap fileExtension=".*" mimeType="text/plain" /&gt;
           &lt;/staticContent&gt;
       &lt;/system.webServer&gt;
   &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which is letting me target the file, but not access it</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found</strong></p>
    
    <p>The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension
    configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file
    should be downloaded, add a MIME map.</p>
