Asp.net MVC page is giving Mime type warnings for image files
I am working in my ASP.NET MVC app within VS 2010 and so I use the development server for this purpose.
When I enable resource traking on Chrome Developer tool I am seeing a plethora of warnings regarding the images of my app. The warning says:
Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream.
for every image used in my site.
What this warning means?
It means your server is sending the wrong Content-Type header for the images. You'll want to look at the server configuration to ensure that it's sending images with their correct MIME types (e.g., image/jpeg for JPGs, image/png for PNGs). Not really a problem just for a dev box, but you wouldn't want your publicly-facing server to do that.
