pub fn resolve_answer_source(value: &str) -> Result<String, ConfigError>Expand description
Resolve a single answers map entry into the literal template body
the proto layer expects.
The same resolution rule applies to entries at every layer:
- Listener-level
[listeners.<id>.answers]— the global default that fires whenever no more specific override matches. - Cluster-level
[clusters.<id>.answers]— overrides the listener-level default for the matching status code on requests routed to that cluster.
Two source forms are accepted:
- Filesystem path — the value starts with the
file://URI scheme. Everything after the prefix is treated as a path; the path is opened and read into a string. Mirrors the on-disk loading the per-status [read_http_answer_file] helper performs for the deprecatedanswer_301..answer_507fields. - Inline literal (default) — anything else. The value is taken
verbatim as the template body, including an empty string (a
0-byte response payload, typical with
Connection: closeand no headers). The bare-string default keeps the common case — a short canned response — typing-light; operators who need a file say so explicitly withfile://.
