Yes, I guess that could work.

But then you can still do node.1000000.json which results in the same thing.

I took the liberty to write a patch which checks the amount of resources will be in the result. If the result is bigger than a pre-defined OSGi property (ex: 200 resources) it will send a 206
partial content with the dump of 200 resources and will ignore the rest.

One option would be to register your own script (or servlet) that also
matches the same selector [+extension]. Since your script would be a closer
match than the default get servlet, it should use your script instead.

For example, create an esp script @
apps/sling/servlet/default/infinity.json.esp

The content of the infinity.json.esp script could just send a 404 error to
the response.
<%
  response.sendError(404);
%>

Hi,

Is there any way of disable or restricting the node.infinity.json selector. We have quite a bit of content and when we do a .infinity.json on our root
node this causes the server to grind to a halt.
It looks like it's internal to JsonRendererServlet but I might be
overseeing something.

This looks to me like a potential hole for a DOS attack.


Kind regards,

Simon
