I've been reading about the staticContent element in the web.config file but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out exactly what ASP.Net considers static content. I assume it's going to include images, js files, css and static html files but I can't seem to find any articles that explicitly state this. Does anyone have links to documentation that explains this in detail?

I think this may be the information you're missing - Static Content MimeMap
