I know this is an old question, but if you are having issues and dealing with text or html files, you might want to refer to this stackoverflow question.

In short, you might need to add this to your web.config:

As kirk points out, files such as .txt and .html files are handled by IIS and not ASP.NET, so the authorization rules aren't applied to them.
