Hi Jeff and Jerome,
Jerome, I'd love to contribute to Restlet, but at the moment we're busy
preparing a release alpha of our cloud powered full-scale system-test
automation application, so I have very few free cycles. I'm really
interested in learning how you guys design and test though, so I hope to
find time in the not too distant future.
Jeff, thanks for the tip. We were thinking of something like that to
start with where we would wrap the zip and/or tarball access logic with
Restlet. I'm keen to contribute this simpler solution and the unittests
that will come with it so that we can go towards perhaps a more generic
solution for everybody.
Cheers,
Meb
Thanks for the tip Jeff.

It's not a Restlet tool, but Apache Commons VFS might provide the
low-level file access you need and you could wrap it with a Restlet:

Hi,
Is there a Restlet mechanism (Directory or other) such that if a user
hits a zip file or tarball, the content of the file is opened
server-side and its content is returned to the user? This would avoid
the user having to save the file and use another program to look
inside the file.
Thanks,
Meb
