Instiki question

ruby-talk
1

I've got a document on a network drive that I want to share on our
internal wiki. How can I link to that document?

The document is at something like \\shared_drive\directory\another
directory\note the spaces in the directory\my_document.doc

2

I've tried "link name":\\shared_drive\directory\another directory\note
the spaces in the directory\my_document.doc

But that fails miserably as you could probably guess.

I've tried "link name":\\shared_drive\directory\another

directory\note

the spaces in the directory\my_document.doc

It's a textile issue, not Instiki. As far I know you can't do it this
way in textile, but you can fall back on HTML:
<a href="file://shared_drive/directory/another directory/note the
spaces in the directory/my_document.doc">link name</a>

This will work via MSIE but not with Firefox (which is a point in
favour of firefox, it not being a great gaping hole into your
network).

That's too bad about Firefox actually... it would be nice to be able
to create links to shared drives in our web pages.

Write a simple webbrick servlet that converts http style requests to
network.

Ie

http://myserver:myport/servefile?id=/a/b/c.pdf

code

def servefile(req, res)
fileName = "#{req.query['id']}"
fullFileName = "#{baseDir}/#{fileName}"
data = nil
File.open(fullFileName,"rb") { |f| data=f.read() }

res['Content-Type'] = "application/octet-stream"
res['Content-Disposition'] = "attachment; filename=\"#{fileNname}\";"
res.body = data
end
