Use standard URL paths to address files within the file
Closed this issue · 3 comments
The standard could support access to files within the archive by simply requiring that browsers (or whatever application is rendering the file) interpret them as such.
*Example: *
A file opened in the browser with the URL file:///temp/example.wdoc
would display the content of the file index.html inside that archive.
If the URL was changed to file:///temp/example.wdoc/index2.html
then the file index2.html inside the archive would be rendered.
Thanks Adrian,
Firefox has a similar thing for JAR files, which I briefly mentioned towards the end. Personally I prefer your much shorter version, so do the examples I've just added to the document reflect this properly?
I forgot to say, thanks for your initial email on the W3C WebAppSec mailing list ... this is how I found out about the Firefox approach.
I also like your .hta
extension idea, where someone else has a similar idea with .hdoc, but as far as I can tell, nothing has actually used .wdoc
yet :-)
LGTM
