Hi Murray,
I only replied to the list, not to you personally, on the assumption that you
are subscribed to the list.

Hi Andy,
I didn’t receive a reply from anyone named Gerrit, but I will watch for it.
Meanwhile, thank you for your suggestion. I made the change you indicated, but
unfortunately I’m still seeing the same behavior.
Thanks,
Greg

You don't often get email from bunce.a...@gmail.com. Learn why this is important

In addition to Gerrit's comments...
This line jumped out as problematic to me.
%rest:path('theocom/static/{$dir=.+}/{$file=.+}')
The pattern =.+ matches the rest of the path. You only need this once at the
end of the path.
Maybe just:
%rest:path('theocom/static/{$dir}/{$file=.+}')

Hello,
I’m trying to build my first BaseX web application. I’ve got a RESTXQ
function for returning static files to the browser, and other RESTXQ functions
corresponding to URLs in the web application. The function for static files is
based on the one in DBA:
(:~ Returns the specified static file to the browser as binary data. :)
declare
%rest:GET
%rest:path('theocom/static/{$dir=.+}/{$file=.+}')
function c:file($dir as xs:string, $file as xs:string)
{
let $path := file:base-dir() || 'static/' || $dir || '/' || $file
return
(
web:response-header(
map { 'media-type': web:content-type($path) },
map { 'Content-Length': file:size($path) }
),
file:read-binary($path)
)
};
Another function returns the home page for the web application. That page
works just fine. The HTML document gets returned to the browser, and the static
CSS and image files are sent to the browser successfully.
(:~ Returns the home page for the entire web application. :)
declare
%rest:GET
%rest:path('theocom')
%output:method('html')
%output:html-version('5')
function c:home()
{
let $params := c:http-params()
return
(
c:extra-response-headers(),
home:get-home-page($params)
)
};
I have another RESTXQ function that corresponds to a URL that goes deeper
into the web application:
(:~ Returns a page listing contributors (libraries whose content we've
imported), for browsing. :)
declare
%rest:GET
%rest:path('theocom/contributors/{$alpha=[a-z]}')
%output:method('html')
%output:html-version('5')
function /c:browse-contributors/($alpha as xs:string)
{
let $params :=
/map:merge/(
(
/map:entry/("browse", "contributor"),
/map:entry/("alpha", /upper-case/($alpha)),
/c:http-params/()
)
)
return
(
/c:extra-response-headers/(),
/browse:contributors/($params)
)
};
The problem I’m having is that on this page, the browser returns 404 for the
static files, even though the code for the HTML <head> where the CSS files are
linked is identical to the home page. Am I doing something wrong, or is the BaseX
RESTXQ implementation doing something unexpected?
Thanks,
Greg
