i-drop Enhancer Extension Developer

[#1]

We replaced our server several months ago and in that process we lost the
ability to use i-drop as we have in the past.

Here is what happens:

If I access my html file from the file explorer (s:\search\a-100.html) then
my i-drop works fine.

If I access the same file from Internet Explorer
(http://details/search/a-100.html) then I get the following message when I
try to use my i-drop: "There was and error getting remote file
http://details/details/a-100.dwg"

Here is the xml code that I am using (a-100.xml):







Can you tell me what is causing this error?

You have to edit your xml file so that it will let know the new path to get the drawing.

If you need further help, please post your xml, and html file and then I will fix and post back to you.

I usually help this news group and I am good on i-drop technology

Sem,

It is not a path issue. Is there something that I need on the Web server?

I found the problem.

We did not have the mime type for DWG registered. See below:

http://www.net-it.com/Support/Readme.htm



Clipped from the link above:

a.. Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0: Starting with Internet Information
Services 6.0 Microsoft changed the way it handles MIME types by default and
follows the MIME type standard more closely now. It requires that the web
server identifies every document's MIME type as it is being served over
http. This makes it necessary to register IGC's proprietary file formats
needed to view a web site generated by NIC.
These formats include:

.dl
Document or drawing page converted to the CDL format

.fd
Font data files needed to render text in CDL documents

.icr
IGC Color Raster file type for embedded raster images in CDL documents

.ig4
IGC Group 4 file type for monochrome raster images (originally g4)
embedded in CDL documents

.irl
IGC Run Length file type for monochrome raster images embedded in CDL
documents

.idx
text index generated by CDL for enabling site searching

.xdl
XML index file to load the complete CDL document

.zdl
compressed .dl file


Register these formats for the MIME type "application/brava-x" with the
following procedure:

1. Start your IIS Console via the Control Panel and Administrative
Tools.

2. Right-click on the root website and choose Properties.

3. Click the HTTP Headers tab, then the File Types... button.

4. In the File Types dialog, click the New Type... button.

5. Enter the extension and "application/brava-x" as the Content Type.

6. Hit OK to add the new type to the list.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 for all file types listed.

8. Click OK to close out the dialogs. The website should now be able
to view CDL documents

If you want to enable the download of original documents and drawings that
are not standard MIME Types such as .dwg or .906, you will need to add these
to the list too.
