Hi Hassan,
Once again thanks for the feedback,, the issue I would have with the
solution above is that content (html, pdf, xml) is maintained by
editors that I have no control over. They simply make their content
look the way the want and then upload it to my application. I could
feasibly search out all paths with html documents and do a little
replace magic on upload,, however this gets complicated to the point
of impossible when dealing with documents such as XML, XSLT where
internal references can be made with virtually unlimited semantics. So
keeping the directory structure the same from the "root down" is
important (Keeps a documents "form" in the responsibility sphere of
the editor).
My app is responsible for controlling logging and accessing to these
documents (Administrators have an interface for granting access to
users on documents uploaded by the editor). I just can't seem to serve
these documents up.
Thanks,
Spencer
