Hi Djoerd, I can understand your concerns, and we are thinking about a solution that provides consistency. More later. If you have not yet understood the problem, it is the following: the files that may be found in the www file-tree served out by the HTTP server have names that potentially clash with document names.

Surely, you can find some way to serve files with any name through http? Best, Djoerd.

Hi all,

while I appreciate the http access functionality for database documents, I do feel that this (rather strict) naming convention is unfortunate. There are a lot of XML files out there that use non-'.xml' endings ('.xhtml' and '.xsl' come to mind, immediately).

Cheers, --Torsten

Hi,

MonetDB/XQuery has an integrated HTTP server that treats GET (and PUT,DELETE) requests for URLs that end in .xml or .XML in a special way.

Such files are not served from the http file directory (datadir/xrpc/) but are taken to be requests for XML documents stored in MonetDB/XQuery.

Since the moment this feature was added, indeed the restriction has been imposed that all documents in the database should have a name ending in .xml This was done for consistency: now all documents X in the database can be retrieved through HTTP (i.e. http://yourserver:50001/X)

If the restriction is not imposed, the HTTP access method will not work anymore for all documents.

Two tests fail (apparently unnoticed for some time) due to the same problem; cf.

Dear Martin,

You are right, sorry, here is the English translation: Recently it is no longer possible to add logical names for XML documents that do not end with .xml, for instance

let $site := "http://www.sigir2007.org/" let $pages := ("index.html", "cfp.html", "cfw.html") for $page in $pages return pf:add-doc(concat($site, $page), $page, "MySIGIR")

gives: ERROR = !ERROR: add-doc((null)): document name must end in .xml (3 such errors)!

In the previous version this was possible, and I use it for instance in a demo for one of our industrial partners in the MultimediaN project. Can this error please be removed? XML documents can have many extensions, for instance.rss, .xhtml, .svg, etc. I might want to add to the database: sigir.html (web page in xhtml) sigir.xml (source of the page) sigir.xsd (schema of the page) sigir.rss (RSS feed of the page) sigir.svg (page as a nice graphic) sigir.mml (mathematical formula of the page) etc, etc.,

I think the error is too restrictive.

Best regards, Djoerd.
