Proper Usage of File Names (Magic xpa 4.x)

In Windows platforms, files can be referred to by either a URL or by file name, relative or by full path/URL.

In non-Windows platforms, such as UNIX and IBM i platforms, files can be referred to by a full URL only. Any reference to a file name with a slash (/) is considered to be a path name, either full or relative. The MAGIC.INI file of the server has to specify a well-defined URL when you want to work with RIA as in the following setting: InternetDispatcherPath = protocol://server:port/alias/requester.

It is strongly recommended to avoid using relative URLs and instead use absolute URLs.

Examples:

/etc/home1/a.jpg (full path)

http://myserver:port/myalias/a.jpg (full or absolute URL)

myalias/a.jpg – is considered to be a relative path name, not a relative URL

InternetDispatcherPath = http://myserver:80/myscripts/mgrequest022
