--flat app serves up any file in directory

Reported by jonuts | June 2nd, 2008 @ 10:50 PM | in 0.9.4

Running a flatly generated app appears to serve up every file that is in its directory. i.e. /application.rb, /config/init.rb, and any other file you throw at it is publicly accessible.

I got this on osx running edge merb and linux running 0.9.3

    • → Milestone changed from “” to “0.9.4”
    • → State changed from “new” to “resolved”

    This is because the default Merb.dir_for() is always the root. The solution is to add:

    :public => "public" to the framework directories. This will work even if there is not public directory, but will limit the statics to that.

    I have updated merb-gen to add this by default.
