[jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-118) Crawled archive files should be expanded into their constituent files
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-118?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=12920609#action_12920609 ] Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-118: The key question here is how you describe the component of an archive. There must be a URL to describe it, or there is no way the search results are going to mean anything. Since URL's are the connector's job to assemble, this is likely to be connector specific. Also, most connectors will never be dealing with archives. Can you provide a list of connectors where you believe this is important, and what the URL's to get at the subpieces of the archive look like?

This could be an option, defaulted to ON, since someone may want to implement a copy connector that maintains crawled files as-is. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

So, if somebody wants to de-reference one of these pseudo URLS they must: Ah. So what you are saying is that the person must either be running a custom browser, or must do some kind of URL manipulation before the search results would be presented to the user, or - or what, exactly? If the url is in fact meant to be real, then it should refer to a custom proxy of some kind that would perform the necessary breakdown. If there is no such service or proxy, those URLs will simply be broken. This represents a major violation of the contract for url generation within ManifoldCF connectors. If there is no such proxy that you are aware of, then I'd much rather generate a real url, which in its raw form would not send you to anything other than the archive itself, but which has enough information to be interpreted properly, by using the anchor trick I alluded to earlier. If there *is* such a proxy, then that proxy's parameters must be added as part of the repository connection configuration. The only case in which the solution you suggest is valid is if you are working on a file system where, when you go to your browser, you enter bz://... for the url, and it actually does the unpacking for you. That would *not* include CIFS, by the way. Is this a fair statement of your proposal? Or am I missing something?

As long as the MCF rules are functionally equivalent to the Apache VFS rules, we should be okay. In short, my proposal does not have a requirement for what an id should look like, just a suggestion.
