Introduction

The GEServer class can be used to serve files over a standard HTTP connection.

Details

This class provide a basic web server for the Plug-in to work with. A local server provides a way to circumvent all access issues between JavaScript and the local file system by serving the local files over a standard HTTP connection.

The server itself supports a limited number of file / Content-types (MIME types), these are;

• txt text/plain
• htm text/html
• kml application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
• kmz application/vnd.google-earth.kmz
• jpg image/jpeg
• png image/png
• gif image/gif
• dae model/vnd.collada+xml

The server uses version 1.1 of HTTP.

By default the server only accepts connections from GoogleEarth User-agents on the same machine.

With the default settings the application start up folder is the virtual root directory and can be accessed via the loopback address or the localhost alias.

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/
• http://locahost:8080/
