Hi,

In the IIS Manager, expand the computer's name, and the "Web Sites" folder,
then right-click the website which you would like to allow .rss files to be
served on, and select "Properties". Alternatively, you can right click on
the "Web Sites" folder and select "Properties" to apply these settings to
all of the websites hosted on the computer, instead of applying the settings
website by website.

In the Properties screen, click on the "HTTP Headers" tab. On the bottom of
this property page, click the "MIME Types." button. A list of the custom
MIME types set on this computer will now be displayed. On the right side of
the MIME type window click the "New." button. Since you want to allow .rss
sites to be served, type the extension ".rss" (without the quotes) into the
first text box. In the "MIME type" text box, type "text/html" (without the
quotes) and press the "OK" button on both of the dialogs, and "Apply" on the
Properties window.

.RSS may not be text/html so you may want to check under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
for .rss to find its MIME Type
