I assume you're hosting your files on IIS. By default IIS is configured not to allow static files to be downloaded unless they have been configured with a valid MIME type.
.config
files are particularly sensitive - you wouldn't want random people to be able to download your
web.config
file!
If you're hosting in IIS, you should make sure the
"Use .deploy file extension" option is selected when publishing your application. You can then configure IIS to allow download of
.deploy
,
.application
, and
.manifest
files.
