Microsoft.Owin.StaticFiles works in console host but I get a 404 in IIS on file requests

问题

I have Microsoft.Owin.FileServer (v2.1.0) set up in my Owin pipeline, and setting up FileServerOptions with EnableDirectoryBrowsing = true works great for showing the directory contents in both my console host and iisexpress.

It's when I try to view a particular file (so, the StaticFiles part) I have problems in iisexpress. Still works great in the console host, but in iisexpress I get a 404:

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Most likely causes:
- The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
- The URL contains a typographical error.
- A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

I do have the latest Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb referenced in the web host.

Adding <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> didn't work for me (VS2013, IIS Express).

Forcing all requests to use the Owin pipeline did:

(in web.config)

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="Owin" verb="" path="*" type="Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb.OwinHttpHandler, Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I had to add the following setting:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

to get the module that Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb automatically registers to run for routes like *.txt, *.js that IIS was assuming were static files to run through the Owin pipeline.

This setting does have performance implications for actual static files, but this works for me.

I've just struggled with this for the last couple of hours, adding the handler below did work however I don't believe this was the correct approach, it caused public void Configuration(IAppBuilder appBuilder) to be invoked twice.

<add name="Owin" verb="" path="*" type="Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb.OwinHttpHandler, Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb"/>

I did some reading and found https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/aspnet/overview/owin-and-katana/owin-middleware-in-the-iis-integrated-pipeline which then lead me to use UseStageMarked().

So now my call to UseStaticFiles() is followed by a called to UseStageMarker() like so:

appBuilder.UseStaticFiles();
//allows owin middlwares to be executed earlier on in the pipeline.
appBuilder.UseStageMarker(PipelineStage.Authenticate);

There is a very good read on it here:

You can find UseStageMarker inside the Microsoft.Owin package here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Owin/

I hope this helps someone else.

Thanks
