[Building Sakai] problem uploading .url files via webdav.

[Stephen Marquard]

Bookmarks (links) in Resources are handled as redirects when accessed
through the access servlet (e.g. /access/content/group/...) but are also
redirects when accessed via WebDAV which I think is incorrect:

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-4609

It should be possible to make WebDAV output these as a .url format
(e.g. the one that Windows understands for desktop shortcuts) and then
do the reverse conversion on upload, which would provide a way to deal
with these other than through the Resources tool.

Cheers
Stephen

What about the 'Add Web Links (URLs)' in Resources already? That
creates a resource which redirects to the actual URL.

We’d be interested if you find out how to do this.

We want to do a similar thing, ie, create “a file” that’s a URL
link and upload into Resources. After a bit of experimentation, we
figured that the file doesn’t actually contain the URL and must be
(something like) a pointer to a database entry that specifies the URL.

I'm connecting sakai to a data server have made a java ap to spider the
server and create directories and links to the server content via
webdav..problem is the .url links don't work from within resources, if
you click them they have to be downloaded and then they are working .url
links. Any ideas on this?
