Re: [basex-talk] Web application static files
@Christian
I'm so sorry. I don't know how this sneaked into the code and especially
how I could overlook it for two hours this morning.
Maybe because of Friday ...
Of course it works as it should. Thanks.
@Felix
Yes your pattern sounds meaningful and I often used the approach.
Nowadays I'm working on a project that is a small web wrapper on some
sort of embedded machine and I have to pay attention to disk usage,
amount of processes and so on. Thus, no extra webserver this time.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Marco.

Hi Marco,
my preferred setup is to use a reverse proxy in front of basex.
This would allow you beside other advantages to completely free basex
from serving static files.
Famous http servers like Apache or NGINX could act as reverse proxies.
This is a sample NGINX configuration snippet:
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|pdf|js|flv|swf|html|htm)$
{
root /home/basex/webapp;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8984;
}
I hope this will be no contrifusion :)

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your mail. If you are working with the ZIP distribution,
you could compare your code with the RESTXQ examples in the restxq.xqm
file.
I assume you get 404 because your static directory is a sub-directory
of bookplates. Here are two things you can do:
* Move your static directory from "webapp/bookplates" to "webapp"
* Deliver static files via RESTXQ (see common.xqm and the REST path
"/dba/static/{$file=.+}").
Does this help?

Re: [basex-talk] Web application static files
Hi Christian,
I tried the approach of serving static web resources from RestXQ.
First I encountered a problem related to my js files being served to the
browser as b64 encoded and the browser isn't able to interpret the script.
So I modified the code in order to recognize text resources and apply
file:read-text but then the < are escaped to and again the browser
complains with syntax errors.
What am I missing here?
I'm trying with the latest snapshot, btw.
This is the code I'm using
declare
%rest:path("/dasbox/ui/resources/{$resource=.+}")
%rest:GET
%output:method("html")
function ui:resources($resource as xs:string){
let $path := file:base-dir() || 'resources/' || $resource
let $mediatype := web:content-type($path)
return (
web:response-header(map { 'media-type': $mediatype }),
if (matches($mediatype, "^text/.+")) then file:read-text($path)
else file:read-binary($path)
)
};
Thanks for your support,
Marco.
