Hi Jan & Kedar -
OK. I guess this will work. I haven't tried it yet. but it sounds
workable, though a bit of a hack.
It would be nice, if as Kedar said, I could just serve static
content from a given local directory (any local path) with a given
virtual path.
Why should I be able to serve content from any local directory? I
have a folder where content files will go. In this case, PNGs, JPGs,
GIFs, and SWFs. I'd like to have the http engine serve the content
from a directory /contentPartition/webAppContent. I don't want to
be restricted to a subdirectory of the app server.
Thank you-
Matt
