Overview
A webserver that serves ROS package resources. This is useful with Robot Web Tools for serving resources that would normally be found with rospack. For example when displaying a URDF using ros3djs the robot model files must be served from somewhere. This package allows for these models to be served directly from the install location instead of having to copy resources to a separate web root. Resources are served with CORS enabled to allow for easy interop with resources served elsewhere. Navigating to the root path will display a list of all installed packages. Resources can then be loaded using by prefixing the path of the resource relative to the share location of the package. For installed packages this is in the share folder in the install location and for non-installed packages this is the package root.
