Get log

Description

Allows access to a log file by name by making it temporarily accessible via the Red5 Pro web server. A temporary path is generated to enable the download. You can download the file by using the server address, the path provided in the response, and the filename. After a limited time, the file is removed and the temporary path is deleted (for security).
