When I use a hyperlink in the metadata's networkr tag for a layer file (for example, <networkr>http://myserver/Downloads/LCSTSEG_EDB.lyr</networkr>), the layer file is not downloadable in the Geoportal. I get an http 404 file cannot be found error in the browser. However, if I use a file with a .zip or a .lpk extension, the file will be downloadable. The gpt.xml lists layer files as one of the options, so why do layer files show up as "file not found" but other types of files can be downloaded from the Geoportal?

hi Jacob, please note we're not actively monitoring this forum. For Geoportal Server related questions or discussions, please use our discussion forum on github (where we host geoportal server source code): https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/issues

in this case, what is the URL that geoportal tries to open that results in the 404 error?
