# HTTP Adapter
This module is a connect/stack middleware module that wraps a vfs instance and
serves it via a HTTP RESTful interface.
The module is a setup function that creates a middleware instance.
```js
var root = "http://localhost:8080/rest/";
var vfs = require('vfs-local')({
root: process.cwd(),
httpRoot: root,
});
require('http').createServer(require('stack')(
require('vfs-http-adapter')("/rest/", vfs)
)).listen(8080);
console.log("RESTful interface at " + root);
```
## `HEAD /any/path`
All HEAD requests are converted to GET requests internally and act identical,
except there is an internal flag in the vfs layer telling it to not stream the body.
## `GET /path/to/file`
Serve a file to the client as a stream. Supports etags and range requests.
## `GET /directory/path/with/slash/`
Serve a directory listing as a JSON document.
This is served as a streaming json document with a weak etag (since the order
of the entries is not defined.) It supports conditional GET requests
See `vfs.readdir` below for the format of the JSON.
## `PUT /path/to/file`
Recieve a file from the client and save it to the vfs. The file body is streamed.
## `PUT /directory/path/with/slash/`
Create a directory
## `DELETE /path/to/file`
Delete a file.
## `DELETE /directory/path/with/slash/`
Delete a directory (not recursive)
## `POST /path/to/target`
POST is used for various adhoc commands that are useful but don't fit well into
the RESTful paradigm. The client sends a JSON body containing the request information.
Currently this includes:
- {"renameFrom": from} - rename a file from `from` to `target`.
- {"copyFrom": from} - copy a file from `from` to `target`.
- {"linkTo": data} - create a symlink at `target` containing `data`.
