File Server Agent Properties

This agent serves static HTML and files on the local file system.

service_name

This property tells the agent what name to register itself as. If a PropsListServiceManager is used, this name must be in the form of extension:// followed by a regular expression matching a domain:port. By default, this property is set to extension://.* which matches all domains and all ports.

html_directory

This property tells the agent what directory tree to serve. By default, this property is set to ./

default_index

This property tells the agent what default index file to look for when the URI given is a directory name. This property is set to index.html by default which means if a browser requests /public_html/my_stuff/, the HTTPFileServerAgent will look for the file /public_html/my_stuff/index.html.

allow_directory_lists

By default this property is set to yes, if it is set to anything else this agent will not allow viewing of directories. If this property is set to yes the HTTPFileServerAgent will dynamically construct an HTML document which lists the files in the directory and return it to the browser.
