This small module combines the functionality of http_reply_file/3 and http_reply_dirindex/3 to act as a simple web-server. Such a server can be created using the following code sample, which starts a server at port 8080 that serves files from the current directory ('.').

This % handler uses http_reply_file/3 to reply plain files. If the % request resolves to a directory, it uses the option =indexes= to % locate an index file (see below) or uses http_reply_dirindex/3 % to create a listing of the directory. % % Options: % % * indexes(+List) % List of files tried to find an index for a directory. The % default is ['index.html']. % % Note that this handler must be tagged as a =prefix= handler (see % http_handler/3 and module introduction). This also implies that % it is possible to override more specific locations in the % hierarchy using http_handler/3 with a longer path-specifier. % % @param Dir is either a directory or an path-specification as % used by absolute_file_name/3. This option provides % great flexibility in (re-)locating the physical files % and allows merging the files of multiple physical % locations into one web-hierarchy by using multiple % user:file_search_path/2 clauses that define the same % alias. % @see The hookable predicate file_mime_type/2 is used to % determine the =|Content-type|= from the file name. http_reply_from_files(Dir, Options, Request) :- ( memberchk(path_info(PathInfo), Request) -> true ; PathInfo = '' ), http_safe_file(PathInfo, []), locate_file(Dir, PathInfo, Path, IsFile, Options), ( IsFile == true -> http_reply_file(Path, [unsafe(true)], Request) ; http_reply_dirindex(Path, [unsafe(true)], Request) ). locate_file(Dir, PathInfo, Result, IsFile, Options) :- absolute_file_name(Dir, DirPath, [ file_type(directory), access(read), solutions(all) ]), directory_file_path(DirPath, PathInfo, Path), ( exists_file(Path) -> IsFile = true, Result = Path ; exists_directory(Path), ( option(indexes(Indexes), Options, ['index.html']), member(Index, Indexes), directory_file_path(Path, Index, IndexFile), exists_file(IndexFile) -> Result = IndexFile, IsFile = true ; Result = Path, IsFile = false ) ).
