In that, * it is what is called a static web server in the unconstrained web. * * As usual, GET operations are used to read files and PUT writes to files. * In the current implementation, PUTs are expressed as random-access, meaning * that files are not updated atomically, although files are created atomically. * The Content-Format option is not checked in the current implementation. * Conditional file modification and deletion is supported using the If-Match * option. The If-Match option carries a previously received Etag or in case of * zero length, requires a request to be processed only if the resource exists. * In opposite, the If-None-Match option requires a request to be processed, * only if the resource does not yet exist, and is most useful for file creation. * * Directories are expressed to URIs with trailing slashes. Directories and * their content are deleted as if one would do an `$rm -r`. If you only would * like to delete a directory if it is empty, you must supply an If-Match option * with the special value @ref COAPFILESERVER_DIR_DELETE_ETAG. * * @note The file server uses ETag for cache validation. The ETags are built * from the file system stat values. As clients rely on the ETag to differ when * the file changes, it is important that file modification times are set. The * precise time values do not matter, but if a file is changed in place and * neither its length nor its modification time is varied, then clients will * not become aware of the change or may even mix up the versions half way * through if they have a part of the old version cached. * * # Usage * * * ``USEMODULE += gcoap_fileserver`` * * * Enter a @ref gcoap_fileserver_handler handler into your CoAP server's * resource list like this: * * ``` * static const coap_resource_t _resources[] = { * ... * { * .path = "/files/sd", * .methods = COAP_GET | COAP_MATCH_SUBTREE, * .handler = gcoap_fileserver_handler, * .context = "/sd0" * }, * ... * } * ``` * * The path argument specifies under which path the folder is served via CoAP while * the context argument contains the path on the local filesystem that will be served. * * The allowed methods dictate whether it's read-only (``COAP_GET``) or * read-write (``COAP_GET | COAP_PUT | COAP_DELETE``). * If you want to support ``PUT`` and `DELETE`, you need to enable the modules * ``gcoap_fileserver_put`` and ``gcoap_fileserver_delete``. * * @{ * * @file * @brief Resource handler for the CoAP file system server * * @author chrysn */ #ifndef NET_GCOAP_FILESERVER_H #define NET_GCOAP_FILESERVER_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #include "net/nanocoap.h" /** * @brief Randomly generated Etag, used by a client when a directory should only be * deleted, if it is empty */ #define COAPFILESERVER_DIR_DELETE_ETAG (0x6ce88b56u) /** * @brief File server handler * * Serve a directory from the VFS as a CoAP resource tree. * @see net_gcoap_fileserver * * @param[in] pdu CoAP request package * @param[out] buf Buffer for the response * @param[in] len Response buffer length * @param[in] ctx pointer to a @ref coap_request_ctx_t * * @return size of the response on success * negative error */ ssize_t gcoap_fileserver_handler(coap_pkt_t *pdu, uint8_t *buf, size_t len, coap_request_ctx_t *ctx); #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif /* NET_GCOAP_FILESERVER_H */ /** @} */
