#921 show directory index [WIP] #1033

What do these changes do?

  • By default throws HTTP 403 - Forbidden if we access static directory
  • If static directory indexing is enabled - lists the static directory contents when we access it

Are there changes in behavior for the user?

UrlDispatcher.add_static got new flag - show_index, which will show index of a directory if explicitly set to True. By default, accessing directory index is forbidden (HTTP/403, show_index=False)

Checklist

  • StaticRoute._directory_as_html():
    • Maybe it should be outside the class? Unit-testing would be easier that way..
    • I would want a unit-test for this method to explicitly check that HTML is as we want
    • Method looks cumbersome and has lots of newlines, so the output would be human readable (is this a priority?)
    • Example output (from a test test_access_root_of_static_handler):
<html>
<head>
<title>Index of /</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Index of /</h1>
<ul>
<li><a href="/my_file">my_file</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
  • There is currently missing coverage for L506 and L531
  • Documentation should reflect the changes, though I have build problems ATM and cannot check docs as HTML

If we want to access a static file dir, it should return `Forbidden
(403)` by default.

XXX: need for a response to return proper html

Also I now return in place, instead of creating variable and returning
later, I am not a fan of returning somewehere inside a method, though if
we tried to return `ret` at the end as before, but I guess it's the most
clean pattern to do this.

This is because we have to conditional blocks, either of which can
return from the method. If first condtitonal creates `ret` variable,
later conditional may just raise `HTTPNotFound` which we do not want.
Though, I do not want to check that `ret` is populated either. Thus
return in place.
