Server Web page

[fjosegalan]

Hello

I am doing some tests to embed a simple web server to serve a single page from c#. I found this Waston solution, but I am bit confused about the capability to serve a single page, as far I saw/understood is more focused on API.
Is posible to server a html page? even more with some assets (css, image, icons)

Regards

Fran

Hi @fjosegalan yes it is possible indeed. Please look into content routes, which can be assigned using server.Routes.PreAuthentication.Content.

e.g.

server.Routes.PreAuthentication.Content.Add("./pages/", true);

The Test.Default project has an example of this as well, so you can run that project to see its behavior:

            _Server.Routes.PreAuthentication.Content.Add("/html/", true);
            _Server.Routes.PreAuthentication.Content.Add("/large/", true);
            _Server.Routes.PreAuthentication.Content.Add("/img/watson.jpg", false);

Hello @jchristn

Thanks for your reply, I did not read it properly. I had tested it and it works as mentioned.
Last question, can I do the same on Default route?

The default route is primarily for API code. You could certainly use the default route for that, but you'd have to read the file, set the content-type, and send the data along with an appropriate (200) status. The content routes handle that for you, and they are evaluated prior to the default route being used.
