Importing mesh from filesystem

Questions

So after suffering through almost a day worth of reading & trying solution from SO, forums etc., I’ve finally found a solution that works (for now at least). What I had to do was add < add mimeType="model/gltf-binary" enabled="true" /> to my applicationhost.config file in the IISExpress folder. In addition, I had to add the following to my Program.cs file: (ASP.NET specific)

builder.Services.Configure<StaticFileOptions>(options =>
{
    options.ContentTypeProvider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider
    {
        Mappings =
        {
            [".gltf"] = "model/gltf+json",
            [".glb"] = "model/gltf-binary",
            [".bin"] = "application/octet-stream",
            [".obj"] = "model/obj"
        }
    };
});

Other things I tried that didn’t work for me:

  • Adding the following to Startup.cs:
StaticFileOptions options = new StaticFileOptions { ContentTypeProvider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider() };
((FileExtensionContentTypeProvider)options.ContentTypeProvider).Mappings.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(".glb", "model/gltf-binary"));
  • Creating a web.config with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<staticContent>
			<remove fileExtension=".gltf" />
			<mimeMap fileExtension=".gltf" mimeType="model/gltf+json" />
			<remove fileExtension=".glb" />
			<mimeMap fileExtension=".glb" mimeType="model/gltf-binary" />
			<remove fileExtension=".bin" />
			<mimeMap fileExtension=".bin" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
			<remove fileExtension=".obj" />
			<mimeMap fileExtension=".obj" mimeType="model/obj" />
		</staticContent>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

@RaananW Thanks a lot for pointing me towards MIME, who knows how much longer I would have taken if it weren’t for that suggestion
