Properties​

acceptRanges?​

optional acceptRanges: boolean

Defined in: src/types/express/SendOptions.ts:17

Name​

acceptRanges

Description​

Enable or disable accepting ranged requests, defaults to true. Disabling this will not send Accept-Ranges and ignore the contents of the Range request header.

true

Inherited from​

SendOptions.acceptRanges

cacheControl?​

optional cacheControl: boolean

Defined in: src/types/express/SendOptions.ts:27

SendOptions.cacheControl

dotfiles?​

optional dotfiles: "allow" | "deny" | "ignore"

Defined in: src/types/express/SendOptions.ts:43

Name​

dotfiles

Description​

Set how "dotfiles" are treated when encountered. A dotfile is a file or directory that begins with a dot ("."). Note this check is done on the path itself without checking if the path actually exists on the disk. If root is specified, only the dotfiles above the root are checked (i.e. the root itself can be within a dotfile when when set to "deny").

  • 'allow' No special treatment for dotfiles.
  • 'deny' Send a 403 for any request for a dotfile.
  • 'ignore' Pretend like the dotfile does not exist and 404. The default value is similar to 'ignore', with the exception that this default will not ignore the files within a directory that begins with a dot, for backward-compatibility.

Default​

'ignore'

Inherited from​

SendOptions.dotfiles

end?​

optional end: number

Defined in: src/types/express/SendOptions.ts:52

Name​

Defined in: src/types/express/SendOptions.ts:72

Name​

extensions

Description​

If a given file doesn't exist, try appending one of the given extensions, in the given order. By default, this is disabled (set to false). An example value that will serve extension-less HTML files: ['html', 'htm']. This is skipped if the requested file already has an extension.
