In /SOLR-5522 the handler configuration code for the admin/fileedit request handler which would o allow modification of Solr Config files was removed from the example solrconfig.xml, but the comments were left in the example file.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/dev/branches/lucene_solr_4_7/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml?r1=1547261&r2=1547270 Thus the warning (appended below) was left in the example solrconfig.xml. I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how the ping/healthcheck request handler would allow the Solr UI to edit config files before I figured out that the comment applied to a request handler that had been removed from the example file. Should I open a JIRA issue and provide a patch? Tom <!-- Enabling this request handler (which is NOT a default part of the admin handler) will allow the Solr UI to edit all the config files. This is intended for secure/development use ONLY! Leaving available and publically accessible is a security vulnerability and should be done with extreme caution! --> <!-- ping/healthcheck --> <requestHandler name="/admin/ping" class="solr.PingRequestHandler"> <lst name="invariants">
