req.uriParams.file does not contain the extensions to load *.js, *.css & *.png

[hslee17]

api.get('/:dir/:file', function(req, res) {
  fs.readFile(__dirname + '/public/' + req.uriParams.dir + '/' + req.uriParams.file + , function (err, file) {
    if (err) {
      res.send(404)
    }
    res.send({code: 200, headers: {'Content-Type': mime.lookup(req.uriParams.file)}, noEnd: true})
    res.end(file)
  })
})

Seems that restify doesn't support express like routes. As such req.uriParams.file does not contain the file extensions for .js .css and .png files.

Below is an ugly hack:

api.get('/:dir/:file', function(req, res) {

  var ext = '';

  switch(req.uriParams.dir) {
    case 'images':
      ext = '.png';
      break;
    case 'scripts':
      ext = '.js';
      break;
    case 'stylesheets':
      ext = '.css';
      break;
  }

  fs.readFile(__dirname + '/public/' + req.uriParams.dir + '/' + req.uriParams.file + ext, function (err, file) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(req.uriParams);
      res.send(404)
    }
    res.send({code: 200, headers: {'Content-Type': mime.lookup(req.uriParams.file + ext)}, noEnd: true})
    res.end(file)
  })
})

note -- I've also tried using RegEx instead (/^/images|scripts|stylesheets/*/...) but restify still barfs.

Thanks for the tails app.
