@title{Publishing Media Files}

@defmodule[(file "../media-file-server.rkt")]

This module publishes local files through a small Racket web server.  The
underlying Racket file dispatcher streams files and supports both @tt{HEAD}
requests and HTTP byte ranges.  Byte ranges are important for media-renderer
probing and seeking.

@defproc[(start-media-file-server
          [url string?]
          [#:listen-ip listen-ip (or/c #f string?) #f])
         media-file-server?]{

Starts a server for the HTTP origin and path prefix in @racket[url].
The URL must be an absolute @tt{http://} URL.  A trailing slash is added when
needed.

When @racket[listen-ip] is @racket[#f], the server listens on all local
interfaces.  Supply a local address, such as @tt{10.7.3.118}, to restrict the
listener to that interface.
}

@defproc[(media-file-server-url
          [server media-file-server?])
         string?]{

Returns the normalized base URL of @racket[server].
}

@defproc[(media-file-server-publish!
          [server media-file-server?]
          [file path-string?]
          [url string?]
          [#:mime-type mime-type (or/c #f bytes? string?) #f])
         string?]{

Publishes @racket[file] at @racket[url] and returns the absolute URL.

The URL may be relative to the server URL:

@racketblock[
(define uri
  (media-file-server-publish!
   files
   "C:/muziek/test.flac"
   "test.flac"))
]

It may also be the complete URL, provided that its origin and path prefix match
the server:

@racketblock[
(media-file-server-publish!
 files
 "C:/muziek/test.flac"
 "http://10.7.3.118:8080/media/test.flac")
]

The MIME type is inferred for common audio, video, and image extensions.
Use @racket[#:mime-type] to override it.
}

@defproc[(media-file-server-unpublish!
          [server media-file-server?]
          [url string?])
         void?]{

Removes the URL mapping.  Requests that are already in progress may still
finish.
}

@defproc[(media-file-server-stop!
          [server media-file-server?])
         void?]{

Stops the web server.  Repeated calls have no effect.
}

Keep the URLs published until the renderer has finished reading them.
