Shouldn't you be able to to just put any static file into the repository via webdav, and then just use the webdav url to retrieve it again? That being said, i think it would be great if microsling ootb handles "static resources" properly. I think if someone addresses an item with an "exact match" in a url (no additional extensions or selector) I think that resource should be taken care of the same way as we do that in the WebDAV layer today... As an example let's say my repo looks like this. /content [nt:unstructured] /content/myblog [my:blog] /content/docroot [nt:folder] /content/docroot/privacy.html [nt:file] I think the resolution of GET requests to the following urls should work as follows: http://myhost/content/myblog.html -> /content/myblog execs the "html.esp" http://myhost/content/docroot/privacy.html -> delegates to webdav since it was an "exact match" http://myhost.content/docroot -> delegates to webdav since it was an "exact match" http://myhost.content/docroot.html -> /content/docroot execs the "html.esp" This should also allow to bind webdav directly to microsling, which i find more intuitive. Does that make sense? regards, david
