How to read key in web.config from extjs

Is it possible to read some key in web.config file from extjs ?

You could use an input tag and load the file with HTML 5 so extJS might help.

However file must be visible to the client and server. If the web.config you are referring to is the configuration for a ASP.net site on an IIS server this could have serious security issues.

<input type="file" id="files" name="files[]" multiple /> <output id="list"></output>

<script>   
function handleFileSelect(evt) { 
    var files =  evt.target.files; // FileList object
      // Loop through the FileList  and render image files as thumbnails.
     for (var i = 0, f; f =  files[i]; i++) { 
       // Only process image files.
       if  (!f.type.match('image.*')) {         continue;       }        var reader  = new FileReader();        
// Closure to capture the file information.
      reader.onload = (function(theFile) {         return function(e) {            
// Render thumbnail.           
var span =  document.createElement('span');           span.innerHTML = ['<img  class="thumb" src="', e.target.result,                             '"  title="', escape(theFile.name), '"/>'].join('');            document.getElementById('list').insertBefore(span, null);         };        })(f);        // Read in the image file as a data 
URL.        reader.readAsDataURL(f);     }   }     document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change',  handleFileSelect, false); 
</script>

you right, what i want to access is the web.config file in asp.net site
is there any other way, that have no issues in security ?

Not really

That file should really not be exposed to editing in a web environment.

The safest way is edit it via text editor and NOT expose it to the web server.

It exposes your entire site to hacks.
