OCT 24 / 9AM ET Register nowFile Provider Component
Enables access to files in a server directory through HTTP. If a file specified in the request exists, its content is sent in a response.
The response depends on the file type:
-
For recognizable files (for example,
.txt
or.xml
), the browser displays the file contents as text. -
For non-recognizable files (for example,
.profile
), the browser offers to download the file.
For example, if HTTP Dispatcher contains a definition of the default
listener on the port 8888, setting the File Provider component listeners="default"
and location="files"
exposes the files at http://myserver:8888/files
.
To enable access to files located in the directory
folder, set filesDirectory="directory"
.
Then, a request to http://myserver:8888/files/subdirectory/file.txt
returns the contents of file.txt
from the directory/subdirectory
folder.
The component does not allow listing.
In other words, in the previous example, a request to http://myserver:8888/files does not return the filesystem structure.
