Did you try: "\\share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)"? (probably you gonna need proper escaping). Note, that UNC paths begin with "\\" and in this case they cannot be substitued with "//". Also - this is windows-only.

I'm trying to put some large-ish data files on a windows share and then reference them using the ExternalData module. I'm running into problems setting the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES properly. Neither "smb://share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)" nor "//share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)" work. For the former ExternalData reports "unsupported protocol" and for the latter "URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL" Is there some way to point to an unmounted Windows share? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
