HTTP/S download file extensions

The HTTP/S download connection provider parses HTML for links that appear to be locally hosted files. Links are checked against the following criteria:

  • relative or use the same base URL

  • recognized to have a file extension

  • file extensions are not in the ignore list

The ignore list is maintained by the file IgnoreLinkExtensions.txt in the Service installation directory. The default file includes extensions that are commonly web page or resources such as images. Remove extensions for files that you want to download, or add for those you don’t. Extensions are one per line.
