Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-118:
----------------------------------------
The key question here is how you describe the component of an archive. There
must be a URL to describe it, or there is no way the search results are going
to mean anything.
Since URL's are the connector's job to assemble, this is likely to be connector
specific. Also, most connectors will never be dealing with archives. Can you
provide a list of connectors where you believe this is important, and what the
URL's to get at the subpieces of the archive look like?

> Key: CONNECTORS-118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-118
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Framework crawler agent
> Reporter: Jack Krupansky
>
> Archive files such as zip, mbox, tar, etc. should be expanded into their
> constituent files during crawling of repositories so that any output
> connector would output the flattened archive.
> This could be an option, defaulted to ON, since someone may want to implement
> a "copy" connector that maintains crawled files as-is.
