Download Files To Web Client

FilesLister is a C# application designed to list files in a specified directory and serve
them over HTTP. This application is built using the HttpListener framework.
Configuration
Open the project and navigate to the NetLogic folder, here the FilesLister Runtime
NetLogic can be configured with:

1. BaseDirectory: The base directory from which files will be listed and served.
2. ServerAddress: The address on which the HTTP server will listen.
3. ServerPort: The port on which the HTTP server will listen.

Usage
Execute the Runtime and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8081 using the WebBrowser
to see the list of files in the configured folder (and subfolders)
Click on any file to initiate the download operation

NetLogic description
1. Start the HTTP Listener: The Start method initializes and starts the HTTP listener. It
reads the configuration variables, validates them, and starts listening for incoming
HTTP requests.

2. Stop the HTTP Listener: The Stop method stops the HTTP listener.

3. Handle HTTP Requests: The OnRequest method handles incoming HTTP requests. It
supports two types of requests:

Root URL ( / ): Lists all files in the specified directory.

File Download ( /download/{file} ): Serves the requested file for download.

Important note
Security: This application does not support SSL/TLS. It is highly recommended to use
this application behind a reverse proxy that provides SSL/TLS support to ensure secure
communication.
Validation: Ensure that the ServerAddress and ServerPort are correctly configured
to avoid potential security risks.
Access Control: This application does not implement any form of access control. It is
recommended to restrict access to trusted users only.
Directory Traversal: The application attempts to prevent directory traversal attacks by
serving files only from the specified base directory. However, additional validation and
security measures should be implemented as needed.

Known issues
The web server cannot be embedded using the FactoryTalk Optix WebBrowser object
in the NativePresentationEngine due to CORS limitations
