Files::new("/", EXAMPLES_DIR)
.path_filter(|n, _| {
println!("{:?}", n);
let s = n.to_str().unwrap();
if s == "lib.rs" || s == "" {
true
} else {
false
}
})
.show_files_listing(),Expected Behavior
Only display the files that pass the filter, as in the example above, only the lib.rs file should be displayed.
Current Behavior
Display all files, but only those passed by the filter can be accessed.
Possible Solution
Add a filter parameter to the DirectoryRenderer function, or add a filter field to the Directory.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
use actix_files::Files;
use actix_web::{get, guard, middleware, App, HttpServer, Responder};
const EXAMPLES_DIR: &str = concat![env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/src"];
#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
env_logger::init_from_env(env_logger::Env::new().default_filter_or("info"));
log::info!("starting HTTP server at http://localhost:8080");
HttpServer::new(|| {
App::new()
.service(
Files::new("/", EXAMPLES_DIR)
.path_filter(|n, _| {
println!("{:?}", n);
let s = n.to_str().unwrap();
if s == "lib.rs" || s == "" {
true
} else {
false
}
})
.show_files_listing(),
)
.wrap(middleware::Logger::default())
})
.bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))?
.run()
.await
}
Context
When I set a filter, it indicates that I don't want users to be aware of the existence of certain files. However, these files are still displayed on the list page and are inaccessible, which can confuse users.
