Hello,
Slide supports an additional property named "displayname". To my
understanding this property may contain slashes without a problem, thus the
name of the resource can not contain extra slashes as Remy stated.
Might this be a solution for you?

That's a tough problem.
The '/' is the path delimiter, and is a special character in many many
systems,
including Slide.
Encoding it doesn't work either, because :
- the latest versions of Tomcat will simply refuse a request where '/' is
encoded as %2F, as it was the root cause for a big security hole
- Slide has to actually decode the URI, and the '/' is decoded at the same
time
The only workaround I can think of is replacing the '/' which are in the
file
names by some other safer character, like '_'.
