By default, only few extensions are defined, and if it is not in the
specified extensions of the indexer, the resource won't be created, then
not served.

To be able to serve the .ra extension, you should edit the default indexer
and add the extension, as explained at:

Read the item 7 (and what is before that may be helpful to understand how
