400 Error when using .json or .xml in request

[Ryan Mueller]

I'm attempting to implement two formats for my API. JSON is served up by default and works fine when not explicitly denoted in the url.

As soon as I try using .json or .xml in the url, I start getting 400.0 Errors that read "IIS 7.5 Detailed Error - 400.0 - Requested mime type is not supported (.xml)".

This just seams like it should be an IIS issue, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further.

The URL used follows this format: https://{domain}/v1/locations.xml?postalcode=75460&token=DBB6BF17093...&reload=true

And it's redirected to: https://{domain}:443/v1/index.cfm/locations.xml?postalcode=75460&token=DBB6BF17093...&reload=true

Here's my code thus far.

Application.cfc

function applicationStartEvent(){
application.anythingToXml = new anythingtoxml.AnythingToXML().init();
}

function configureTaffy()
{
setDebugKey("debug");
setReloadKey("reload");
setReloadPassword(true);
enableDashboard(true);

setDefaultRepresentationClass("v1.resources.customRepresentation");
}

customRepresentation.cfc

<cfcomponent output="false" extends="taffy.core.baseRepresentation">
<cfset variables.anythingToXml = application.anythingToXml />
<cffunction name="getAsJson" access="public" output="false" taffy:mime="application/json" taffy:default="true">
<cfreturn serializeJson(variables.data) />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getAsXML" taffy:mime="application/xml" output="false">
<cfreturn variables.AnythingToXML.ToXML(variables.data) />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Sounds like the issue where IIS blocks delivery of "unknown" mime types.
This may be of use:

Yep, should have mentioned that I've setup the mime maps.

The 400.0 is what causes confusion for me because mime issues from IIS are supposed to be 404.3.

It's entirely possible that it's a bug. This is something I've seen a lot of recently as I reworked how mime type handling was done. Are you using the BER from GitHub (master branch)? Or the 1.1 release? Or an older release?

Can you provide a zip of your code, simplified as much as possible, but that still contains the error? I'll try it on various builds including my unreleased dev branches and let you know what I find out.

Thanks for the offer. Attached is a zip with a simple Taffy environment.

I've included the web.config as well for your review. However, in my install it's located higher in the directory tree.
