Hi,

 

I am trying to use the iFiles to do a maintenance page, but I don't want to do a redirect to /maintenance/index.html, I just want to do an HTTP response 200, but using the suggestion from Aaron, of

 

HTTP::respond 200 content "[ifile get ifile1][ifile get ifile2]"

 

 

This simply displays the first file, then the second, basically as concatenated text files(does the same with gif's). I have an index.thml, a css and several gifs. Any ideas on how to display that via iFiles?
