Simple file server?

[derekantrican]

How would I use NetCoreServer to serve a "directory browser"/file server like https://ostechnix.com/how-to-setup-a-file-server-in-minutes-using-python/?

Another example: https://github.com/natemcmaster/dotnet-serve

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-serve
dotnet serve -p 8000

I know this is a late reply, but in case you still need help...

          string wroot = @"www";
          // Process HTTP request methods
          if (request.Method == "HEAD")
          {
              UIupdate.UpdateNetworkOutput("https", "Request HEAD", Color.LimeGreen);
              SendResponseAsync(Response.MakeHeadResponse());
          }
          else if (request.Method == "GET")
          {
              string path = wroot + request.Url.Replace("/", @"\");
              UIupdate.UpdateNetworkOutput("https", $"Request Path: {path}", Color.LimeGreen);

              // Begin https://github.com/chronoxor Contribution
              string content;
              try { content = File.ReadAllText(path); }
              catch { content = "Invalid Request\n\nAre you lost?"; }

              Response.Clear();
              Response.SetBegin(200);
              Response.SetContentType(Path.GetExtension(path));
              Response.SetHeader("Cache-Control", $"max-age=3600");
              Response.SetBody(content);

              SendResponseAsync(Response);
              // End https://github.com/chronoxor Contribution
          }

Something like this above will serve files using either the HttpServer example or the HttpsServer example.

I hope this helps.

@thewhiterabbit Thanks. Looking at that, it looks like it only works for files, not folders - is that correct?

[thewhiterabbit]

Currently it would only see a file and return the text.

You can add in some statement to check for folders and return default files within them based on regex or string comparison.
