Question

Anyone know what the MIME type is for ICS file? text/calendar isn't doing the trick. Still not presented with Open when clicking through .ICS file in doc lib etc.

Well, that is what I was trying to do but wasn't able to find the MIME. And HERE"S WHY!!!!!

the MIME type for ICS is text/calendar.

HOWEVER...

IIS has a MIME type already set for ics files, application/octet-stream. So i tried to add application/octet-stream to AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes and it didn't work.

So I removed application/octet-stream (which looks like it was a bad one to add anyway) and went directly to IIS and changed the ICS mime type there from application/octet-stream to text/calendar, reset IIS and VOILA! ICS files now available to Open in browser.

Do i set my own response as answer?

Oops, i should add that text/calendar is an OOTB MIME type in the AllowedInlineDOwnloadedMimeTypes

Did you add the MIME type to IIS as well as configure AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes?
