Class ShowFileRequestHandler

java.lang.Object
org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase
org.apache.solr.handler.admin.ShowFileRequestHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoCloseable, ApiSupport, SolrInfoBean, NestedRequestHandler, SolrMetricProducer, SolrRequestHandler, PermissionNameProvider

public class ShowFileRequestHandler extends RequestHandlerBase implements PermissionNameProvider
This handler uses the RawResponseWriter to give client access to files inside ${solr.home}/conf

If you want to selectively restrict access some configuration files, you can list these files in the HIDDEN invariants. For example to hide synonyms.txt and anotherfile.txt, you would register:

 <requestHandler name="/admin/file" class="org.apache.solr.handler.admin.ShowFileRequestHandler" >
   <lst name="defaults">
    <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
   </lst>
   <lst name="invariants">
    <str name="hidden">synonyms.txt</str>
    <str name="hidden">anotherfile.txt</str>
    <str name="hidden">*</str>
   </lst>
 </requestHandler>
 
At present, there is only explicit file names (including path) or the glob '*' are supported. Variants like '*.xml' are NOT supported.ere

The ShowFileRequestHandler uses the RawResponseWriter (wt=raw) to return file contents. If you need to use a different writer, you will need to change the registered invariant param for wt.

If you want to override the contentType header returned for a given file, you can set it directly using: USE_CONTENT_TYPE. For example, to get a plain text version of schema.xml, try:

   http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/file?file=schema.xml&contentType=text/plain
