Http server and images

[elliot]

 Is there any in-built method for serving image files over http(s), rather than doing something like this:

request.response.putHeader("content-type", "image/*");
String fileName = "myfile.jpg";

File file = new File(fileName);
byte[] fileContent = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath());
request.response.writeBuffer(new Buffer().appendBytes(fileContent));
request.response.end();

request.response.sendFile(fileName);

http://vertx.io/api/java/api/org/vertx/java/core/http/HttpServerResponse.html#sendFile(java.lang.String)

But you still have to set the Content-Type

Actually - it should set content-type automatically for most common types :)

Nice

Hmm...

Serving images with the sendFile method seems to hang & timeout, producing a browser 404.  I have no issue with text/html however.  Thought it may be an odd permission issue on the folder but they are all open and the path looks fine so I am a little confused.

The mime type detection is nice - is the type determined by extension, magic headers or other?

Actually this looks like Windows B.S. so forget I typed anything......except the question on the mime types :)

Extension. Pls see https://github.com/vert-x/vert.x/blob/master/vertx-core/src/main/java/org/vertx/java/core/http/impl/MimeMapping.java
