Sorry if this is a FAQ or even too trivial to be dealt with. The manual mentions the fact that GeoServer can be used as a simple web server. We are allowed to place static files in the www subdirectory of the GeoServer data directory. However, I wasn't able to locate the directory over HTTP. This is the structure of my HTTP request:
PUT geo.server.fi:8090/geoserver/www/test.htm HTTP/1.1 Host: geo.server.fi:8090 Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 618 Pragma: No-Cache User-Agent: HTTP Request Mediator, ver. 1.0.5 (build 83) Date: Mon, 20 May 2013 07:11:08 GMT Authorization: Basic MyEncodededUserNameAndPassword== <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <HTML> [My test file] </HTML> The server responds with status 405 Request method 'PUT' not supported, headers and an error message: Allow: POST, HEAD, GET Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 1458 Server: Jetty(6.1.8) <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <title>Error 405 Request method 'PUT' not supported</title> </head> <body><h2>HTTP ERROR: 405</h2><pre>Request method 'PUT' not supported</pre> <p>RequestURI=/geoserver/www/test.htm</p><p><i><small><a href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/";>Powered by Jetty://</a></small></i></p><br/> <br/> <br/> If I switch to the POST method I get status 404 Not Found What is wrong: URL, method or headers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
