I just published an AngularJS / WebAPI project using file system publishing in a local IIS application and I can open the website in my browser. Unfortunately, no resources, such as images, css, etc., can be downloaded. When I try to get to any file located in a subfolder, I still get HTTP 200 from the server, but the body is empty. I remember that I had this problem several years ago, but I can’t remember why this is happening.

As you can see, there is no body at all, but the image exists in the folder, and I can open it from the file system. I would suggest that if it was a privilege problem, the server will return 403 or a similar error, rather than 200 OK?
