Link inside the ZIP file ?

MoshiachNow

HI,

I need to link from within the HTML into a certain file which is WITHIN
a zip file (without unzipping the zip).
Is it doable ?

No. Why do you think you need to do that?

Because I deliver to a support an HTML file with logs,which includes
links to logs that arrive in parallel in a zip file.

Ok,so now I have to think how to add to my HTML some VB or else script
that will unzip the zip file first.

Any ideas on how to do it ?
Thanks

Yes it's do-able, but it's far from trivial if you want to do it right.

I assume your problem is some massive archive of zip files, with a need
to address things within them. The neat way to do this is to design
yourself a mini-protocol based on the interpretation of HTTP URLs in a
defined manner (this could be as simple as two HTTP GET query
parameters called "wherethearchiv eis" and "wherethefileis insideit", or
as complex as a local "handle" server (look it up)). Then you write
some nice, neat server-side code that understands this protocol and can
return the files requested. With this new and more powerful (but still
completely generic) toolbox, you can write an application that
understands about a "log" file, structure of date-embedded names etc.
Choosing the right server-side language will make this easy (Java and
Python both have good Zip libraries, I don't know about PHP)

This is NOT just a "HTML programming" problem. If you treat it as one,
you'll find yourself building some vast pile of crappy JavaScript and
getting yourself posted to http://thedailywtf.com

Creating link to file or temp file for user download

I am designing a document management system (DMS). The files are stored in a directory on the webserver. The filenames for the documents are stored in a MySQL database. The DMS will track revisions from the initial version through the updates. We must have strict permissions set so only authorized personnel can access some documents. All of the documents when uploaded are given totally random names such as "114723fb5422c6bd5ed18f6.doc"....

Display File Title, Link Using File Path

Now, I'd like the file title to keep showing up in the textbox, but I obviously...
