Description

After upgrading CWA HTML5 from v2101 to any later versions(E.g. v2309) in the storefront server, the About dialog still shows the old version.




The Storefront Console however still shows the correct version.

Resolution

  1. Open IIS manager > select Default Website > select Request Filtering
  2. From the action pane select Allow File Name Extensions > add .json and .wasm

  1. Correct version should now be shown.

Problem Cause

Request filtering enabled in the IIS, but .wasm and .json file types were not added in allowed extension types.

If the file was accessed directly, https://store.domain.com/Citrix/StoreWeb/clients/HTML5Client/releases.json, it shows below error that .json files are filtered.
