The procedure for starting HTTP service is now complete, and clients can display text
files under the root directory by using a Web browser. If the filer will transfer files
other than text files, for example, image files and audio files, follow the instructions in
Specifying MIME Content-Type Values in Chapter 7 to configure your filer so that
the appropriate MIME Content-Type header is sent with each file transferred.

To test the filers HTTP service, follow these steps:
1. Create an HTML file in the root directory for HTTP. For example, create a file
named myfile.html in the HTTP root directory, which is /vol/vol0/home/users/
pages, assuming that the HTML root directory is /vol/vol0/home/users/pages.
2. Start a Web browser on a client and specify the URL of the HTML file in the
browser.
For example, if your filer is filer and the root directory for HTTP is /vol/vol0/home/
users/pages, enter this URL:
KWWSILOHUP\ILOHKWPO
The path component of the URL is a path name relative to the HTTP root. Do not
specify the complete path name to the file in the URL.
NOTE: If the URL names a directory, for example, http://filer/home/pages, the filer
automatically tries to transfer the index.html file within the directory. If index.html
does not exist, the filer returns Error 404. No such file or directory.
