TStaticModule Class

HTTP server module that serves static files from a directory in the local file system.

Remarks

The module maps the path of each incoming request (relative to the module base URI) to a file under RootDir. It responds to GET and HEAD requests, setting the Content-Type header from the file extension and, optionally, a Last-Modified header. When the request maps to a directory, the module serves one of the configured IndexFiles or, depending on FolderUrlMode, redirects to the canonical URL. Requests that do not match a file result in a 404 response, and methods other than GET or HEAD result in a 405 response.
