title: IIS8 refuses to serve up a static .wsdl file
body: <p>I'm currently facing an issue I've never seen Before.
  I have a static .wsdl file set in the site directory and if I navigate to the .svc file it shows up just fine, but as soon as I navigate to <a href="http://www.foo.bar/service.wsdl" rel="nofollow">http://www.foo.bar/service.wsdl</a> to download the WSDL it throws up an Error 500.0</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Module   IIS Web Core</p>
    
    <p>Notification   AuthenticateRequest</p>
    
    <p>Handler   StaticFile</p>
    
    <p>Error Code   0x80070542</p>
    
    <p>Requested URL   <a href="http://localhost/service.wsdl" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/service.wsdl</a></p>
    
    <p>Physical Path   C:\sites\service.wsdl</p>
    
    <p>Logon Method   Anonymous</p>
    
    <p>Logon User   Anonymous</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I know that there has been some "tuning" being made on this server, so that might be a reason, but is there a way to find out why it refuses to serve up the file?</p>
  
  <p>The reason for me not going for the ?wsdl option is that the WSDL need to have some endpoints redefined due to Proxies etc.</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be appreciated.</p>
