Static Content

Good day all,

I have been recently using Squeak and Seaside, to recreate a website
previously powered by PHP - all is going well, I am a soon to be
SmallTalk evangelist!

I have stumbled upon a small hurdle, and that is Static Content (e.g.
Images and 'attachments' such as documents/pdf's.)

Is there a a simplified method of serving these files, without the need
for proxying via Apache or other webserver application? My Google-fu is
weak today, so I have not been able to find any examples. If anyone
could provide a link or example I would be most appreciative!

Many thanks,

John.

Re: Static Content

You may want to implement a simple static file server that takes
advantage of the WACachedDocument class.
A subclass of WATask would do. You would need to implement
#initialRequest: to extract the file name from the url
and store it into an i-var. The #go method would look like this:

go
| response doc |
response :=
[doc := (WACachedDocument fileName: filename) asMIMEDocument.
response := WAResponse new.
response contents: doc content readStream.
response contentType: doc contentType.
response headerAt: 'Expires' put: 'Thu, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 GMT'.
response attachmentWithFileName: filename]
on: Error
do: [:e | WAResponse notFound: filename].
self session returnResponse: response

100% Seaside.

HTH
Michel.

Hi

If you have Seaside 2.7 and your files are not too big you can use
WAFileLibrary.

WAFileLibrary has a class comment
WAFileLibraryDemo and WAFileLibraryExample are examples

Cheers
Philippe

Re: Static Content

Hi,

thanks - works great with a stream, even for large (0.5mb+) files!:

logoGif
| stream content |
stream _ StandardFileStream new open: '/path/to/logo.gif' forWrite:
false.
content _ stream contents.
stream close.
^contents
