发布Asp.net网站后具有垃圾字符的CSS和JS文件

Question

I am publishing an asp.net website and when I try to run it, the CSS and the JS files are not loading correctly. When I open the Chrome debugger tools , all the JS files are giving the following error

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"

and when I view the js files from the developer tools, they contain only junk characters. The thing is when I view the files on the file system, they appear to be fine but when I view them from the developer tools or from a browser eg http://localhost/MyApp/jquery.js , I see only junk characters

I've been trying to find out what's wrong but this error keeps coming. it was working before and all of a sudden I am getting this.

Answer 1

It turns out that there was a key in my web.config that was compressing the javascript files on the fly.

I had the GZip compression key in my config file which was causing this issue. here's the key

<add name="Headers_GZipOutput" type="Headers_GZipOutput"/>

I commented this and it started working.
