Hello

Has anyone tried to serve up MS Silverlight Clients from the RAILS  
Platform. The combination of Silverlight in Browser, and RAILS (MVC  
and Web Service) on the Server is compelling.

I have designed, and tested the Silverlight files in the MS  
environment, but when I try to browse from a RAILS WebBrick server, I  
get a AG\_E\_RUNTIME\_MANAGED-ASSEMBLY\_DOWNLOAD parser error, which, if  
similiar to IIS, means that WebBrick is not serving up the scripts/  
executables correctly.

Anyone else had any success with RAILS + Silverlight ?

Cheers

Julian

Not sure… the silverlight stuff is in the public/ folder of your app?
