  1. POAnd still, what is the magic of ASP.NET MVC Content folder?
    text
    copied!<p>I've just moved my resource files (javascript, css, images) from <code>Content</code> folder to custom <code>Assets</code> folder. And I've noticed a strange behavior - these files are not longer cached by browser and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mvc-mini-profiler/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MvcMiniProfiler</a> shows separate request for each resource located in <code>Assets</code> folder:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lhDwD.png" alt="Before moving to Assets folder and after"></p> <p>I know that <code>Content</code> folder isn't required by ASP.NET MVC convention, but why this happens? Is <code>Content</code> treated somehow especially by anyone (e.g. ASP.NET, IISExpress, etc.)? And how to force caching for other folders that contain static resources?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Oh, it appears to be not an ASP.NET MVC odd behavior, but just the standard behavior of MvcMiniProfiler. Currently I'm checking that...</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Yea, there is no problem with ASP.NET MVC, it's just a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mvc-mini-profiler/source/browse/MvcMiniProfiler/MiniProfiler.Settings.cs#185" rel="nofollow noreferrer">default configuration</a> of MvcMiniProfiler to ignore only these paths: <code>"/mini-profiler-", "/content/", "/scripts/", "/favicon.ico"</code>. And these defaults can be easily extended:</p> <pre><code>MiniProfiler.Settings.IgnoredPaths = MiniProfiler.Settings.IgnoredPaths .Concat(new [] { "/assets/" }) .ToArray(); </code></pre> <p>Sometimes it's a good idea to read documentation before using something ;)</p>
