Redirecting / to /index.html in NancyFX

Question

I'm serving static content in a self-hosted Nancy and have overridden the root path, and also added a static content convention to redirect / to Content in my custom bootstrapper like so:

conventions.StaticContentsConventions.Add(StaticContentConventionBuilder.AddDirectory("/", "Content"));

This works fine when requesting a URL like http://localhost/index.html but I would like http://localhost to redirect to index.html. This doesn't seem to work by default though. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I ended up solving this with a simple module like so:

public class IndexModule : NancyModule
{
    public IndexModule()
    {
        Get["/"] = _ => Response.AsFile(Settings.Instance.GetFullContentPath("index.html"));
    }
}

Settings.Instance.GetFullContentPath is my own method which returns a full path on disk to the specified file.
