I am not able to find an answer to this. Does anybody know this? I want to enable the download of .bak file and for that I need to know the mime type so that i configure the same in the IIS for .bak file.
Any help is appreciated.

Not everything has a custom mime type. For generic binary files use application/octet-stream.

Right, I was using that mime type. But In the extenion text box in IIS, I was using *.bak. It should be .bak (no asterick). Thanks.

A:
Just use "application/octet-stream". It likely doesn't have anything more specific than that.
