Re: Display / Download PDF document from IFS via HTTP

Hi Nathan

I've not done much of this for awhile - it is easiest if the PDFs are in the /www/apachedft/htdocs directory right? After that, defining documentRoot? After that, have a CGI program to call that serves whatever from wherever?

It really has been too long - these days I do maintain a web site for a community band - unbelievable but it's in classic ASP code. Everything really depends on being inside the top-level directory there. That's where I'm getting some of those thoughts above.

Cheers
Vern

In regard to an HTTP configuration example, where to begin! I'd probably
begin with:

/www.apachedft/conf/httpd.conf, which should be available on your IFS.

But there are so many configuration options that you should probably review
the topics in the IBM HTTP manuals. At a basic level, serving PDF content
is not any different than serving any other type of file.

It gets more interesting if users need to generate PDF content on the fly
and protect it from others.
