You need to modify Web.config to map requests for your HTML files to TransferRequestHandler.

like so:

    ...
    
      
    
    ...
  

This is explained here by Jon Galloway.

And put this to your RouteConfig:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            ...
            routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}.html", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
            ...
        }

Than accessing http://localhost:{port}/Home/Index.html will send you to your Home page.
