StaticWeb map static path can't include "index.html" ？

[yunhor]

Documentation for the iris project can be found at
https://github.com/kataras/iris#-learn.
iris version 8.2.4
When I use StaticWeb method map a static path, and request "static/index.html" ,it will "Not Found".
But when I change index.html to go.html ,it work .
I am sure the old iris hasn't this error .

Hello @yunhor

Could you please provide us a code-snippet that produces this type of result?

Update:

StaticWeb does not recognize http://localhost:8080/static/ as http://localhost:8080/static/index.html but this is not its fault, it's router's fault.

We have the app.SPA function which will do the job for you (derives from Single Page Application, was introduced in V8)

If you're serving the whole website from static assets (i.e view managed by react,angular...) use app.SPA instead, it's faster and is designed for that reason.

	assetHandler := app.StaticHandler("./static", false, false)
	app.SPA(assetHandler)

Examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/file-server/single-page-application

Update 2:

However I did some digging to a relative situation and I found a minor issue.

Update 3:

I found the origin of the (Update2) issue and I've fixed that but I have no time to test it much more right now, I'm in the office. I want to be 100% sure that we will not face an issue like that on the near future and I'll push the fix to the repository when I go back to my house. Wait for that fix, which solves the issue of StaticWeb you described on this thread.

Thank you,

I map ./go to /go ,when ./go/go.htm change name to "index.html" ,It can't work on v8.2.4
":6300/go/index.html" neither

Thank you @kataras ,I will try SPA method.

Done, upgrade with go get -u github.com/kataras/iris and you're ready to go :)

I just run iris-master/_examples/file-server/basic/main.go

All the following gives "Not Found"
http://localhost:8080/static
http://localhost:8080/static/
http://localhost:8080/static/index.html

If I rename index.html to i.html, then
http://localhost:8080/static/i.html gives "Hello index"

[kataras]

@jolee11 this happens because /static/ redirects to /static and index.html is not part of the /static but /static/index.html. The /static/ or /static/index.html will redirect to /static and that was expected as go docs of the StaticWeb.

So you have two options,

1. Register a handler for your /static to serve the index.html (this can give you control whether the user asked assets or a particular index page).
2. to fix that you could pass iris.WithoutPathCorrection option to iris.Run(iris.Addr(...), iris.WithoutPathCorrection) however I will refactor the code a bit in order to fix this, stay tuned.
