serving static files with restify (node.js)
- The
directory
option is a prefix for your entire path. - Relative paths are not working correctly in later versions of Restify (I tested 2.6.0-3, 2.8.2-3 - and they all produce the NotAuthorized error)
The solution now becomes:
server.get(/\/docs\/public\/?.*/, restify.serveStatic({ directory: __dirname}));
And then your static files will need to be in ./docs/public
.
(__dirname
is a global variable that contains the absolute path of the script you are running)
