[users@httpd] File Extensions

[dojo karta <do...@gmail.com>]

Hey Greetings,

I wanted to know if HTTPD can help me to restrict serving files with
particular Extensions.

I mean I have a Web application primarily written in JS. I do not want to
throw away the code open to everyone. So is there a way I can configure
HTTPD to say no if somebody tries to access the js may be through browser.

You can surely do that, but then your browser will not be able to
download the JavaScript,
and your browser will not be able to execute the JS.

JS is a client-side language, you will not be able to hide it for the user.
You can however obfuscate the code. Search google for that.
