Harsh J commented on HDFS-3801:
-------------------------------
Any comments on the patch? It provides a toggle that disables all browsable
(i.e. linked/navigable) pages and carries a simple test as well.
> Provide a way to disable browsing of files from the web UI

> A few times we've had requests from users who wish to disable browsing of the
> filesystem in the web UI completely, while keeping other servlet
> functionality enabled (such as fsck, etc.). Right now, the cheap way to do
> this is by blocking out the DN web port (50075) from access by clients, but
> that also hampers HFTP transfers.
> We should instead provide a toggle config for the JSPs to use and disallow
> browsing if the toggle's enabled. The config can be true by default, to not
> change the behavior.
