Thanks for the answers, I understand better what is going on.
So, what should I do to make my server respond with a random
image, and not the random image page? I'm fairly new to
vibe.d, so I don't yet know the intricacies of how to handle
this style of thing and I couldn't find how to do it in the
documentation.
Thank you.
Responding with a random image is an option, but what you have
is
a good start, you just need to also serve images on request.
I'm very distracted right now or I would've included more in my
earlier post, but Vibe's online documentation has what you need.
Try, especially, https://vibed.org/docs#http-routing
You want a route for the random-image page, and you want to
serve
static files under images/
Great, thanks a lot, it works as expected! Here is the code used
(app.d), for those who are interested:
```
import vibe.vibe;
void main()
{
auto router = new URLRouter;
router.get("/", &index);
router.get("*", serveStaticFiles("public"));
auto settings = new HTTPServerSettings;
settings.bindAddresses = ["::1", "127.0.0.1"];
settings.port = 8080;
auto listener = listenHTTP(settings, router);
scope (exit) listener.stopListening();
logInfo("Please open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your
browser.");
runApplication();
}
/// The index page
void index(HTTPServerRequest req, HTTPServerResponse res)
{
import std.random;
import std.format;
auto rnd = Random(unpredictableSeed);
const auto rndimg = format("/images/rndimg/img%d.jpg",
uniform(1, 27, rnd));
res.render!("index.dt", req, rndimg);
}
```
