The PC based web server will restrict the paths on the host computer to those that are allowed in

the applicable site configuration file (.sources.xml). This is done to prevent web access to all file
systems accessible to the host computer.

Example:

http://192.168.24.106/?command=NewestFile&expr=USR:*.jpg

Response: the web server collects the newest JPG file on the 
USR: drive of the host CR800 

Note to retrieve any file, regardless of age, the url is
http://ip_address/drive/filename.ext. The name of the desired file is determined
using the ListFiles command.

NewestFile Response

The web server will transmit the contents of the newest file that matches the
expression given in

expr

. If there are no matching files, the server responds with a

404 Not Found HTTP response code.
