Can we get a method for retrieving the current extensions public base path/uri? #107

Open gburning opened 1 month ago

gburning commented 1 month ago

For the extension I'm building I need to figure out the base url it is served from when statically hosted through your CDN(s).

According to the documentation it should be https://{publisher}.gallerycdn.vsassets.io but there are 2 problems:

  1. This is only the origin, not the full path. In my case the full base URL looks like (obfuscated) https://{publisher}.gallerycdn.vsassets.io/extensions/{publisher}/{ext-id}/{ext-version}/{unknown-number}/.
  2. The host isn't always consistent. I seem to have published extensions that are served from https://{publisher}.gallery.vsassets.io. This is also indicated by the change history of your documentation.

I could try and figure out what the unknown number is (timestamp of some kind?) and build the base path myself but I would be much more comfortable if I had a method of extracting this information via the SDK/some kind of method exposed on the host. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance!

Realized that this is actually included in the API (baseUri on returned InstalledExtension object). Still think this would be valuable for the SDK itself to export but I understand if this is not a priority.

One thing of note is that neither baseUri nor fallbackUri include a trailing slash at the end, which they arguably should.
