# App: File Service (AJAX server)

# Author: Matt Giuca

# Date: 9/1/2008

# This application is an AJAX service. Receives file handling instructions as

# requests. Performs actions on the student's workspace, and returns directory

# listings in JSON.

# This rather large documentation explains the request and response to the

# file service app (it should probably be taken to a separate document).

# This is not intended to be accessed directly by the user. It is targeted by

# AJAX calls in applications such as browser and editor.

# Application usage: The input to the application is determined by the fields

# passed in as HTTP variables (either in the URL or message body). Also, in

# keeping with REST, actions only take effect if this is a POST request as

# opposed to a GET request (although a GET request is still allowed to just

# get a listing or file dump). Also, the "path" (the part of the URL

# after "fileservice" and before the GET variables) is taken into account.

# Aside from the side-effects to the server (note: side-effects are only

# possible for POST requests), the response takes two parts. The response

# header contains information about success or failure of the operation. The

# response body may contain the requested file.

# Fileservice has two separate roles: First, an action is performed. This may

# be a copy, write, or svn up operation. Then, either a directory listing or

# file contents are returned.

# This listing/contents may be completely separate from the action,

# but they are performed together because the client will usually want to

# perform some action, then update its display as a result of the action.

# The special "return" variable can be "listing" or "contents" - listing is

# the default if unspecified. If "listing", it will return a directory listing

# of the file specified. If the file is not a directory, it just returns a

# single "." object, with details about the file.

# If "contents", it will return the contents of the file specified. If the

# file is a directory, it will simply return the listing again.

# GET requests will have all variables other than "return" ignored, and the

# only behaviour will be to generate the directory or file listing. POST

# requests will result in an action if one is specified. If the action is

# UNSUCCESSFUL, returns the header "X-IVLE-Action-Error: <errormessage>".

# Successful actions succeed silently. Note that the action does not affect

# the HTTP response code (it may be 200 even upon failure).

# The path (req.path) controls which file or directory will be

# returned. If it is a file, returns the header "X-IVLE-Return: File" and

# status 200 OK. The response body is either a verbatim dump of the file

# specified, or a single-file directory listing, as described above.

# The Content-Type will probably be text/plain but should not be relied upon.

# If it is a directory, returns the header "X-IVLE-Return: Dir" and status

# 200 OK. The response body is a JSON directory listing (see below). The

# Content-Type cannot be relied upon. If the file is not found or there is

# some other read error, returns no X-IVLE-Return header, a 400-level

# response status. (404 File Not Found, 403 Forbidden, etc), and a header

# "X-IVLE-Return-Error: <errormessage>".

# See action.py for a full description of the actions.

# See listing.py for a full description of the output format of the directory

# listing.
