File 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,
.txtor.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.
