Windows Phone Open .rails web page

i'm developing a WP 8.1 app in C#, in one page i have to open a ".rail" web page (in webview) but every time i'll open that page the phone ask me to install an app from the store to satisfy the request.

There's any way to prevent this behavior or there's something that i've misconfigured in webView?

Thanks in advance

The default experience in any browser is that when you navigate to a file extension that it isn't able to open it will see it as a downloadable file. For the phone browsers it often means it will download it and search for a app that is able. As far as I know the webview isn't able to open a .rail directly so it will execute the default experience

TL;DR; It will try to download the file and search a matching app since it isn't able to open it himself.
