Read file locally rather than via HTTP #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I used PageAttachment fine in my test environment but when I rolled it out in 
production I ran into a severe problem as the host does not allow the web site 
to download files via http from itself... which is exactly what PageAttachment 
does.

Can you read the file locally or simply redirect the download request to the 
File:... page or something?

Hi tbm:

The code can be updated to use local file access and then steam it.

I would rather not update the code to do a simple redirect as that opens up a 
hole that would allow malicious/inconsiderate people to steal bandwidth.

Sincerely yours,

Aldrin

That would be excellent.  Do you think you'll have time to implement this in 
the near future?

Thanks for your speedy responses, btw!

Hi tbm:

Local access is being handled in the new code being develop (See Issue# 75) and 
this code will not be fixed and will be removed in the next release.

The code need a little clean and will be checking it over the coming weekend.
