B4J Question How to hide webapp directory

[Chris Guanzon]

Hello! How can I hide the web app directory or redirect it to another page if the user enters this "URL: domain.com/public/"?

The attached image is the directory under the www folder.

So when the user types domain.com/public/ in the address bar of the browser you want to show a webpage in stead of the list of files?
This is what i usually do in php:

<?php
    header("Location: ../index.php");
?>

And then of course you have to provide an index.php file in the root folder.
Greetings,
Paul

(1) Create a Filter Server class

'Filter class
Sub Class_Globals
    
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize
    
End Sub

'Return True to allow the request to proceed.
Public Sub Filter(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse) As Boolean
    If req.Secure Then
        Return True
    Else
        resp.SendRedirect(req.FullRequestURI.Replace("/public", "/your redirect"))
        'resp.SendRedirect(req.FullRequestURI.Replace("http:", "https:") _
       '.Replace(Main.srvr.Port, Main.srvr.SslPort))
        Return False
    End If
End Sub

(2) Add this line into Main class

srvr.AddFilter("/public", "Your Filter Class", False)

srvr.AddFilter("/public", "Your Filter Class", False)

This works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

You can also just prevent it by using:

srvr.SetStaticFilesOptions(CreateMap("dirAllowed":False))
