@niwinz: How would you recommend placing static assets under a "guarded" route (a route that requires authentication in order to be used). I have a authentication checking handler but I cannot use it in combination with :assets.

It is possible to do the this but it requires that your static assets sit under some sort of endpoint when I do not want them to be under any endpoint.

[:prefix "app"
      [:any #'handlers/require-auth]
      [:assets "" {:dir     "target"
                   :indexes ["index.html"]}]]

Good question

I think that there are two possible solutions.

[[:prefix "assets"
  [:any auth-handler]
  [:assets "" opts]]]

this is an option but I don't know if it will work.

and an other option is

[[:scope
  [:any auth-handler]
  [:assets "assets" opts]]]

Putting this on the end of the pipeline

If nothing of that does not works. Tomorrow with calm I will fix it properly.

I'll test it out and let you know

As far as I can understand the ratpack code the first method should work

I have read a little bit about how it works and surelly for the next version I will add facilities for build own handlers for serving assets allowing user fully control over file serving 😉

and now I'm go away

Awesome thanks! :simple_smile:
