Disabling file browsing
When you omit a document name from a URL, and only specify a directory, the built-in web server attempts to find a default document. If found, the web server returns the default document. For more information on setting up default documents, see Adding a default document type.
If the web server does not locate a default document, and file browsing is enabled, the web server displays a file listing of the directory. Each file and directory in the listing is a link. Clicking a directory opens it; clicking a file sends a request to the web server for that file.
By default, file browsing is enabled in the built-in web server. Use the following procedure to disable it.
To disable file browsing:
| 1 |
In a text editor, open the file cf_root\runtime\servers\default\SERVER-INF\default-web.xml. |
| 2 |
Locate the following code in the file: |
|
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>jrun.servlet.file.FileServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>browseDirs</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
|
| 3 |
Change the param-value to false. |
| 4 |
Save the file. |
| 5 |
Restart the ColdFusion server. |
