Routing static files in ASP.NET MVC 3 like robots.txt

Question

I would like to have the following link "http://mywebsite.com/robots.txt" linked to a static file ~/Content/robots.txt.

How can I do this?

Thanks, Merijn

Answer 1

Adding a route like this should do the trick. This way any static .txt file like robots.txt can be served.

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.txt");
