IIS7: Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream:

With a site hosted in IIS I was getting this warning:

Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: "http://localhost/Website/assets/webfonts/mplus-1c-light-webfont.ttf". index.html:6
Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: "http://localhost/Website/assets/webfonts/mplus-1c-regular-webfont.ttf". index.html:6

The solution is:

1. Open IIS manager
2. Go to MIME types
3. Click on "add..."
4. Fill the fields:
   - File name extension: .woff
   - MIME Type: application/x-font-woff
5. Restart IIS.

Using Microsoft Visual Studio, when you try to run the solution, ff you get the error:

Microsoft Visual Studio: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The web server did not respond in a timely manner.  This may be because another debugger is already attached to the web server.


Just reset IIS using iisreset in a console opened as administrator:
