Does anyone know the handler class of the download restful api?

where is handler class ?

GET http like this
/user/tom/files/bbb/Test.java/?_xsrf=2|8d46fae7|e118145b396c40a863a15610dc6cd9c7|1581918271

FilesHandler ?
FilesRedirectHandler ?
AuthenticatedFileHandler ?

I am confused

Relative to Notebook at least, handlers for a given "service" are typically located in that service's handlers.py file. The contents service's handlers are defined in notebook/services/contents/handlers.py.

Somewhere, projects need to map a given endpoint to a handler class. For Notebook, this location is typically at the bottom of the handlers.py files.

It looks like the download handler you're looking for is "listening" on endpoint /api/contents<path>, where path is a Unix-style path starting with forward-slash ('/'). I believe the path portion is relative to the root directory (or notebook-dir) specified when Notebook was launched (or in its configuration file).

So, to access the file you reference and assuming the root directory is the actual root ('/'), your file could be downloaded using...

GET /api/contents/user/tom/files/bbb/Test.java

and that request would be handled by ContentsHandler.

I hope this helps.
