schneems 0b1a87f73c Refactor out Dir.glob from ActionDispatch::Static Dir.glob can be a security concern. The original use was to provide logic of fallback files. Example a request to `/` should render the file from `/public/index.html`. We can replace the dir glob with the specific logic it represents. The glob {,index,index.html} will look for the current path, then in the directory of the path with index file and then in the directory of the path with index.html. This PR replaces the glob logic by manually checking each potential match. Best case scenario this results in one less file API request, worst case, this has one more file API request. Related to #16464 Update: added a test for when a file of a given name (`public/bar.html` and a directory `public/bar` both exist in the same root directory. Changed logic to accommodate this scenario.		2014-08-27 13:03:08 -05:00

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
