BrowserPlus.FileAccess.Read({params}, function{}())

Read up to 2mb of a file on disk. You may specify offset and length.

Test: Read()

Parameters

file: path

The file that you would like to read.

offset: integer (Optional)

The option byte offset at which you like to start reading.

size: integer (Optional)

The amount of data to read in bytes

BrowserPlus.FileAccess.GetURL({params}, function{}())

Get a localhost url that can be used to attain the full contents of a file on disk. The URL will be of the form http://127.0.0.1:<port>/<uuid> -- The port will be an ephemerally bound port, the uuid will be a traditional GUID. When a local client accesses the URL, the FileAccess service will ignore any appended pathing (i.e. for http://127.0.0.1:<port>/<uuid>/foo.tar.gz, '/foo.tar.gz' will be ignored). This allows client code to supply a filename when triggering a browser supplied 'save as' dialog.

Test: GetURL()

Parameters

file: path

The file that you would like to read via a localhost url.
