Create a new sharedFolder UI plugin for WEB Settings

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

Hi @stephdl,

continuing this thread after 6.6 release

This is how the “Web access” tab could look:

@davidep

Moreover, I’d add a way to grant the web app write permissions on specific subfolders. This must be consistent with the “Reset permissions” action.

I was thinking about changing the last checkbox label to something like “Extensible web server configuration”. When it is checked

• .htaccess overrides are enabled
• If a file named .http_writable (or similar) exists in the shared folder, it is parsed to apply special write permissions for the web server.

The .http_writable would contain a list of sub directories (relative to shared folder) where the web server is allowed to write. This is to cover situations where a web app needs to write some data on the disk. And it’s also compatible with the “Reset permissions” action.

What do you think?
