external request for a file gives 404 - PaulC - 05-22-2025
Hi Team,
In our ci3 app we supply an external service with a web_url so they can take a copy of one of our files and analyse it before giving us a decision about its suitability for our site.
In ci4 I have used exactly the same idea but the 3rd party is saying they receive a 404 response so we are not getting good responses.
If I try to view the file in question by using the url I too get 404 but with a clue that the GET route is not defined.
eg https://www.mysite.com/images/uploads/temp_dir/image.jpg
I have reviewed the routing docs and the smart file handling docs but am a bit mystified about how to enable this file to be retrieved externally.
I'm sure its easy but I cannot find the magic bullet ... yet.
Any clues appreciated, thx Paul

OK I have run the spark command. Nice table of all my defined routes.
How do I specify a route so that someone can read/copy a specific file? (or more generally and file written to a temporary directory with a random file in it)

Is that image found within public/images/uploads/temp_dir/?
