Hi Claus
We do not have that feature currently.
You might be able to inject your own file provider - e.g. we do this to serve static files in the root of the website (www.domain.com/*) from a sub folder inside DW filesystem (/Files/System/wwwroot):
internal sealed class VirtualWebRootFileMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
{
private const string VirtualWebRootPath = "/Files/System/wwwroot";
private static readonly FileExtensionContentTypeProvider ContentTypeProvider = new();
public async Task Invoke(HttpContext ctx)
{
if (IsRootFileRequest(ctx.Request.Path, out var filePath))
{
var path = FilePathHelper.GetAbsolutePath(TransformRootFileRequest(filePath));
if (File.Exists(path))
{
if (ContentTypeProvider.TryGetContentType(path, out var contentType))
ctx.Response.ContentType = contentType;
await ctx.Response.SendFileAsync(path).ConfigureAwait(true);
return;
}
}
await next(ctx).ConfigureAwait(true);
}
private static string TransformRootFileRequest(string path) => $"{VirtualWebRootPath}/{path.TrimStart('/')}";
private static bool IsRootFileRequest(PathString pathString, [NotNullWhen(true)] out string? fileName)
{
fileName = null;
if (pathString.Value is not string path)
return false;
var isAbsolute = path.StartsWith('/');
if (!isAbsolute)
return false;
fileName = pathString;
return true;
}
}
internal static class VirtualWebRootFileMiddlewareExtensions
{
public static IApplicationBuilder UseVirtualWebRootFileMiddleware(this IApplicationBuilder app)
{
return app.UseMiddleware<VirtualWebRootFileMiddleware>();
}
}
You should be able to do something similar - and get the files from a non-public location and then check for permissions.
You can inject that with IPipeline:
public sealed class CustomPipeline : IPipeline
{
public int Rank { get; } = 3;
public void RegisterServices(IServiceCollection services, IMvcCoreBuilder mvcBuilder)
{
services.Add*(...)
}
public void RegisterApplicationComponents(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
app.Use*(...);
}
public void RunInitializers()
{
//Something to initialize
}
}
