Issac,
I am not exactly sure how I would leverage either the translate_name
hook or map_to_storage hook. The best I can figure is that I should
hook translate_name and this is the translation:
/coolapp?<params> --> /coolapp?type=index&<params>
/coolapp/images?<params> --> /coolapp?type=image&<params>
Do I have the right idea?
I have been trying to move forward with the assumption that I am on
the right track and continue to run unknowns. How do I identify
coolapp as the location? In other words, I have this in my
httpd.conf:
<Location /coolapp>
SetHandler my_cool_app
</Location>
Inside of the translate_name hook, how do I go about determining that
/coolapp is the location?
