TDS can't serve *.png files in public folder about thredds HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi Shane:

Thanks for reporting that, we will get it fixed. Are png files the only
ones you need to serve from there?

In a change from previous versions (4.3.x), TDS seems to have lost the
ability to serve files in the public content directory other than css, gif,
and jpg files. The description in the docs doesn't mention this limitation.

NOTE: The best way to use your own logo is to put it in the
${tomcat_home}/content/thredds/public/ directory, and specify it in
serverInformation as /thredds/

This seems to be the code restricting the extensions via a spring
RequestMapping pattern.

https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/blob/4.6.0/tds/src/main/java/thredds/server/root/RootController.java#L70

It also seems that subdirectories of public can't be used anymore either
(e.g. images subdirectory). These two changes bit us when upgrading to
4.6.0 from 4.3.20 as we used to serve a PNG logo image from
public/images/header.png.

In an ideal world we could serve any file type (and subdirectories) from the public dir, either by explicitly including "public" in the path or by looking any unmapped URL in the public folder. But yes, for now we could get by with just *.png :)

ok, we are in some Spring mapping confusion but we will get it sorted out.

Ok, I'll close this issue for now. @shane-axiom - if the problem still exists in our latest release, can you let us know? Thanks!

Never mind...I'll just tag this as needs testing but keep it open...still trying to get a decent github workflow going here...

Tested 4.6.2, was able to serve a .png image in the public folder. Closing, thanks.
