CAUSE
The ".map" extension is reserved and intended for association with server-side image maps in Internet Information Server (IIS) and Internet Information Services (IIS). The size of these image maps is restricted to 128 KB. IIS enforces this size limit on all files that have a file name extension of .map before it loads the files.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use image maps that are smaller than 128 KB.
MORE INFORMATION
Other ASCII files that are larger than 128 KB are not affected. If you have a file with another extension (for example, "a01"), and the file larger than 128 KB, you will not have problems changing the mime type or viewing the file in the browser.
