[patch] Directory listings for static directories

gwa...@gmail.com (Gareth) — Sat, 31 May 2008 03:54:15 UT

I came up with a small patch for 3.1.0rc1 to implement optional
directory browsing for static directories.

Setting tools.staticdir.generate_index es=True turns it on.. Setting
the config to a callable lets you generate generate indexes yourself.

No doubt this is imperfect in many ways, but I figured it might be a

will immediately enjoy :)

Thanks Robert!
I'm happy to give back something useful to CherryPy :-)

Okay, trunked in [link]. Thanks for the

Just to make things clearer for myself, I also added a slick new chart

Do you want me resending the patch with updated stringdocs for
inclusion into SVN?

Of course. We wouldn't want the overhead of validating HTML anyway. ;)
The callable can set any Content-Type it likes, and whatever it returns
gets bound to cherrypy.response.body.

Re: [cherrypy-devel] Add "body" parameter to HTTPError?

I have also made a patch. Here I am able to send a complete html page
rather than a message:

You send the whole page as "body", similar as sending a "message":

Here is the patch I promised some hours ago. Of course, I've updated
related docstrings and unit tests. I hope it can help solve the ticket
As I am sending this patch, I think the "callable" should be
authorized to return document types outside of HTML. This is useful
for some kind of servers, like XML-RPC. What do you think about that?

Add "body" parameter to HTTPError?

cour...@braydon.com (braydon fuller) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:12:06 UT

Correct, and not only a specific instance of HTTPError, but a specific
instance of a 404 error, or any error for that matter.

Braydon,
It seems your patch doesn't solve the same kind of problem.
Ticket #800 is about providing a way to customize the error page
returned by default by every HTTPError.
But your proposal, if I understand it well, is about adding a
parameter "body" to HTTPError, in order to customize the error page

ngri...@gmail.com (Nicolas Grilly) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:50:40 UT

OK. I'll look at the branch and propose a patch ASAP.
I completely agree with that: I'm going to use error_page['default'].
Thanks,
Nicolas

Thanks for the thought and effort on this--it'd be really nice to
resolve for 3.1 final. I'd like to pursue the idea of requiring an
error_page callable to return HTML (but possibly do other things)...have
a look at the branch I made for ticket 800 and see if you can modify it
to do what you described.

Follow-up on ticket 800 (Request ability to override default error template)

ngri...@gmail.com (Nicolas Grilly) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:04:14 UT

Hello,

I guess we all agree that CherryPy needs an easy way to fully
customize error pages.

The original poster of ticket 800 (schap...@mischko.com) proposed a
patch, but Robert considered it messy. I agree, especially because of
the use of "exec" to import a module, when error_page is a string
