Playing with a wiki setup and was thinking that a number of files could
be grouped on a wiki page (or for that matter in any html document) and
files can be referenced - i.e. a Microsoft Word Document or Open Office
Document, etc.
The problem with an http reference is that it is really slow to get
opened in your word processory...
For example...
http://SERVER/files/test-document.sxw
when I click this, it launches a new browser windows (reasonably
provided by wiki), downloads the document to my /tmp directory (similar
on Windows and Macintosh) and then launches application and finally,
opens the document from it's temporary location.
This process takes maybe 20 - 30 seconds.
So I vaguely recalled that there was something like
file://SERVER/files/test-document.sxw but I don't recall where and that
clearly doesn't work - at least not universally as browsers complain
that 'file' isn't a known service.
Does anybody have a suggestion on a method to accomplish delivering
files from an http server (or more specifically a wiki) that is fast and
somewhat if not totally universal across OS Types/browsers.
Thanks
Craig
