I agree and add this improvement:
path-thru: func [url /local purl][
if file? url [return url]
if not all [purl: decode-url url purl/host] [return none]
rejoin [
view-root/public slash purl/host
either none? purl/port-id [""][join "%3A" purl/port-id]
slash any [purl/path ""] any [purl/target ""]
]
]
so now it's posible to do:
>> path-thru http://127.0.0.1:81/
== %/d/view/public/127.0.0.1%3A81/
>> read path-thru http://127.0.0.1:81/
== [%index.r]
>> read path-thru http://127.0.0.1/
== [%INDEX.R %INST.R %RBOX.R %RBOX2.R %img/ %index.html]
I think that it is bug in Rebol when without this fix i get
page from http://127.0.0.1/index.r
instead of http://127.0.0.1:81/index.r
using read-thru http://127.0.0.1:81/index.r
The question is, how to handle files that are received using:
read-thru http://127.0.0.1/
Another problem is that it's not possible to do:
>> read %/d/view/public/127.0.0.1%3A81/
** Access Error: Cannot open /d/view/public/127.0.0.1:81/
** Near: read %/d/view/public/127.0.0.1:81/
