I'm building a webserver using the Vibe.d library. Whenever the user requests a page inside my /images/ folder; I want them to output this file.

Because there will be a lot of images present, and because these are likely to change in the future, I would like to just get the URL from the request, and automatically output the file.

I am aware though, that users could perform tricks like "images/../../../../sensitive_file_here". In order to prevent that I would like a solid way of making sure the entered path is actually inside the images directory.

How do I do this?

You can remove the directory navigation with std.path.buildNormalizedPath, not sure the behavior on a relative path, but you could call std.path.absolutePath first.
