B4J Question Different behavior of a filter when using post and download

[schimanski]

I'm not really sure about the function of a filter combined with the staticfilesfolder.

I use the follwing server-settings:

srvr.AddHandler("/TEST", "FileServer", False)
srvr.AddFilter("/TEST/*", "PasswortFilter", False)

Every post I send with

Dim Status As HttpJob
Status.Initialize("StatusSenden", Me)
Status.PostString("xx.xxx.xxx.xx:51044/TEST?absender=test" & "&passwort=" & PasswortServer & "&type=status", Statusmeldung)

and it goes first through the filter.

When I want do download the file, I use

Dim Status As HttpJob
Status.Initialize("StatusLaden", Me)
Status.Download2("xx.xxx.xxx.xx:51044/Kontakte/Status.test.txt", Array As String("passwort", PasswortServer))

The file "Status.test.txt" is lying under the staticfilesfolger /TEST/Kontakte, but the downoad request don't uses the filter. In that way, it is possible to download the file only with

https://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:51044/Kontakte/Status.test.txt

Using

https://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:51044/TEST/Kontakte/Status.Stammi2.eis

checks the filter...

When I set the filter to

srvr.AddFilter("/*", "PasswortFilter", False)

the download request goes through the filter, but it is than not possible to register a device, when the user don't has an account.
What can I do to use the filter before downloading a file from my staticfilesfolder?

Thanks for help...

Check the online members example.

srvr.AddHandler("/login_example/registerHelper", "RegisterHelper", False)
srvr.AddHandler("/login_example/signinHelper", "SigninHelper", False)
srvr.AddHandler("/login_example/members/membersHandler", "MembersHandler", False)
srvr.AddHandler("/login_example/members/logout", "Logout", False)
'add filter to protect the members only folder
srvr.AddFilter("/login_example/members/*", "MembersFilter", False)

The members folder and the members/* handlers are protected with the filter. You cannot download the index.html file from the members folder unless you are logged in:
https://b4x.com:51041/login_example/members/index.html

Ok, I think, that i use far to little folders. Must I use the first folder with the name 'www' or doesn't it matter?

www is the default value of StaticFilesFolder property. You can change it if you like. Only files from the static files folder will be served by the static files handler.
