Alright, so I know that I can configure a default file to serve in a static block, but how can I serve a static file from the structure I've set in that static block for one request?

Not sure I understand. Can you give an example?

[redrield]

I found a way to do it, though I feel there's a better way.

[redrield]

Basically, I have a react app that gets served at /, and there's some data to be filled out that will eventually be POSTed serverside

[redrield]

When that happens, I want to send back a static html file saying that the request has been processed, and that just has some javascript to send them back to the root of the app after a couple of seconds

[redrield]

I just ended up doing this call.respond(File(staticFolder, "success.html").readText())

[orangy]

Hmm, why would you send html page in response to a React app POST request? I imagine you’d send a JSON back with data needed to render the message, and then React app would do the rest?

[orangy]

Also, readText from file is blocking call. Better to respond with LocalFileContent

[orangy]

I think we might need call.respondFile(baseDir, file)

[redrield]

Regardless of the poor architecture choices on my part, I thing that'd be a good addition
