mime-type

I am sure there is a simple answer to this one.

I have a docx file that I get an error when trying to download(document cannot be found).... .doc is fine .txt is also fine. I am sure this is just an iis setting, the permissions on the server are all the same for all files.

Asp.Net MVC2 RenderAction changes page mime type?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
It appears that calling Html.RenderAction in Asp.Net MVC2 apps can alter the mime type of the page if the child action's type is different than the parent action's. The code below (testing in MVC2 RTM), which seems sensible to me, will return a result of type application/json when calling Home/Index… >>> More
