Redirects with .asp extension are downloading #120

Closed albertvolkman closed 7 years ago

albertvolkman commented 7 years ago

I have an old site with a /file.asp path, that I'd like to redirect to /file. However, the browser is interpreting the .asp as a file and downloading it instead of redirecting.

This is somewhat, the intended behavior, if unfortunate, in that you could have a .asp file on your site which you'd like other to download. The best workaround is to set the redirect to /file.asp/, which will really create /file.asp/index.html, which should serve the redirect with an HTML document type.
