I am developing an application which allows me to bring some files saved from another server for that I have a code made in Asp.net which I consume with Javascript to bring the image, but when I get the image to show it, the following generates me error, Not allowed to load local resource: file: /// C: /Users/usuario/Desktop/imagenes/prfil/descarga.png, but when I copy the same link in the browser if it brings me the image:
This is my code .net:

public IHttpActionResult Get(string nombreArchivo)
{
    string directorio = "C:\Users\usuario\Desktop\imagenes\"
    string ruta = directorio   nombreArchivo;
    if (File.Exists(ruta))
    {
        var result = new
        {
            imagen = ruta.Replace('\\', '/')
        }
        return Ok(result);
    }
    else
    {
        var result = new
        {
            imagen = "No existe la imagen"
        }
        return Ok(result);
    }
}

And this my code JavaScript:

const file = async () => {
    const res = await fetch(`http://localhost:64108/api/Archivos/?nombreArchivo=perfil/descarga.png`);
    const datos = await res.json();

    foto.style.backgroundImage = `url('${datos.imagen}')`;
};

CodePudding user response：

Browsers use the local file:// protocol to load local files, which is only allowed for local calls. Same thing with HTTP protocol; it won't work to use this protocol followed by the full path of a local file. Yet, you have at least two options here. You either provide a public folder within your application's root directory, where you can access the file using a relative URI, which is the safer way of doing it. Another possible approach is to return a file instead of a path. For this one, you may do something like this:

Javascript

let url = "http://localhost:64108/api/Archivos/?nombreArchivo=perfil/descarga.png";
let init = {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Accept': 'image/png'
    }
};

fetch(url, init)
    .then(function (res) {
        // ...
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        // ...
    });

C#

public IHttpActionResult Get(string nombreArchivo)
{
    string directorio = "C:\\Users\\usuario\\Desktop\\imagenes\\";
    string ruta = directorio   nombreArchivo;

    if (System.IO.File.Exists(ruta))
        return File(path, Request.Headers["Accept"]); // We've already set this to "image/png" in the javascript part

    else return BadRequest("No existe la imagen");
}
