Re: Initiating a 'DELETE' or 'POST' in a folder inside webroot

Hi,

I am using the fileupload jquery library. I was able to get everything working and migrated some functions to the controllers to make it compatible.

The problem I am encountering is that fileupload is creating a 'Delete' button which goes to the link below:

http://localhost/homsite/app/webroot/?file=SAMPLE%PICTURE.JPG

The button's property is data-type="DELETE"

Basically what this should do is initiate a DELETE in the 'file' folder to remove "SAMPLE PICTURE.JPG"

I have tried this with a plain PHP setup and it is working fine.

What php file is answering the request in that case?

 

Looking at the error returned, cakephp is routing the link to the controller:

Missing Method in AppController

Error: The action webroot is not defined in controller AppController

Error: Create AppController::webroot() in file: app\Controller\AppController.php.

<?php  class AppController extends AppController {      	public function webroot() {    	}    }

Read the above as "404 Not found". 

Is it possible to make cakephp exempt the MVC for that particular link?

That's not what you want to do. Cake does not "hijack" urls that map to files in the webroot. If you've put a file in the webroot for handling the deleting of uploaded files, you need only point at it (i.e. the url needs to explicitly point at the same file for "a plain PHP setup" for the same processing to occur).

hth,

AD
