Forum OpenACS Q&A: request processor behavior

Collapse
Posted by Paul Juliano on
Hi,

When a URL is accessed, for example http://mysite/test the request processor should be looking for files with predefined "magic" extensions, i.e. files that end with: .html, .tcl and .adp (according to the request processor documentation).

However, if had a file called test.txt or test.jpg, the request processor still serves this file, but it should not, right?

I can test this right now on this site, like the logo:

https://openacs.org/templates/slices/openacs.gif

If you access just:

https://openacs.org/templates/slices/openacs

you will still get file, which means the request processor looks for files other than the magic extensions.
