I would like to add a link to a local file in confluence. Obviously this link would only work if the file is locally on the users computer. I understand that.
If I add the address like this :
file:///D:/dev/ngs-frontend/src/pages/myPage.html
The browser sends me to :
about:blank
If I try to add it with quotes like so :
"file:///D:/dev/ngs-frontend/src/pages/myPage.html"
..confluence crashes!
How is it possible in confluence?
As you mentioned when adding the web link in Confluence specifying the file using the file protocol (file:///) you might face the issue that it doesn't work.
Obviously this link would only work if the file is locally on the users computer.
This is not entirely true. If you open the developer tools you most likely will be getting the error "Not allowed to load local resource"
As measure of security the browser won't let you access files from a different origin, specially from the users computer (this would be a serious security risk). Only imagine if you could access the files in the Windows directory from the browser, you could break apart the operating system in no time (or steal user data).
This is explained in here
If you put the file in the same server Confluence is running, then this should work just fine. However I believe you can save time just adding the page as an attachment and loading it (Confluence is pretty decent at version controlling in case you want to modify the html file).
Hope this helps!

I need to upload a file to OneDrive, via the command line. This will be done through a batch file which is distributed to end users.
From searching on Stack Overflow, I find questions like this one which say that you need to register an app and create an app password, using Azure. I don't have the necessary permissions to do this in the organization where I work, nor can I do anything that requires an admin account. So I can't any install software - I have to use what comes with Windows 10. I can't use VBA either as that's blocked.
I've managed to download files from OneDrive without anything like that, using the process described here:
Open the URL in either of the browser.
Open Developer options using Ctrl+Shift+I.
Go to Network tab.
Now click on download. Saving file isn’t required. We only need the network activity while browser requests the file from the server.
A new entry will appear which would look like “download.aspx?…”.
Right click on that and Copy → Copy as cURL.
Paste the copied content directly in the terminal and append ‘--output file.extension’ to save the content in file.extension since
terminal isn’t capable of showing binary data.
Example:
curl https://xyz.sharepoint.com/personal/someting/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=cefb6082%2D696e%2D4f23%2D8c7a%2
…. some long text ….

cucg=1’ --compressed --output file.extension
I tried to do something similar after clicking 'upload' on the browser, but didn't find anything useful when trying to filter the requests.
I found these two questions but there is no keyboard shortcut to upload, AFAICT. Also the end user will be uploading a file to a folder I've shared with them from my OneDrive. Opening Chrome or Edge as a minimised window is fine, but I can't just shove a window in their face which automatically clicks on things - they won't like that.
It's just occurred to me that I might be able to use an office application to Save As the file to the necessary onedrive folder, where the keyboard shortcuts are pretty stable, but have no idea how to achieve that via the command line.
The best and more secure way to accomplish this goal I think is going to be with the Rest API for OneDrive.

You still need a Azure AD App Registration (which your admin should be able to configure for you), to provide API access to services in Azure. Coding with the API is going to be far easier and less complicated, not to mention more versatile.
I need to download an archived google group.
Following link is one of the messages of that group for example.

The problem is, what i see in the browser does not appear in the downloaded webpage.
With my very limited knowledge, It seems to me like the reason behind it is this content is dynamically created by java-script. Or else, these downloaded files are with so called 'mbox' extension which is encrypted ?
What I've tried so far
First trys
Simple download
wget https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
With mirror
wget --mirror https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
Assuming its encrypted
With cookies.
wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
Got thunderbird to setup my gmail and opening. did not open correctly
Assuming the content was javascript generated
Downloaded using phantomJS
https://askubuntu.com/questions/411540/how-to-get-wget-to-download-exact-same-web-page-html-as-browser
Downloaded using phantomJS with a different script
https://gist.github.com/giocomai/247d54e097b5083e2451
Used scripts available from Github
https://github.com/henryk/gggd
https://github.com/icy/google-group-crawler
But none did not work so far.
Can anyone please shed some light on how to download this page with its message as a readable html or txt file ?
Cheers

You could use https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/sci.aeronautics/msgs/atom.xml?num=100 to get some of the posts - but it only gets roughly half the posts in this case.
And it has all the messages from all topics together.
View it in Firefox or Classic Opera to see directly in a more human-readable form.
But since you say you already got a file in standard mbox format, what exactly is wrong with it - did you attempt to import it into a locally installed email or newsclient ? (like Thunderbird)
I've taken on the webmaster role for a website that uses DNN version 07.02.02. Most of the links to my pdf files are broken. They pdfs were in a folder called "/pdfs" now they're in a new folder "/docs/pdfs "
A few quick things:
I only have ftp access to the web site files. No access to web.config so rewrite rules are out.
I don't want to copy the old files back to "/pdfs" because it would mean managing two different pdf copies (there are over 500 pdfs).
Using file directories with a .pdf extension then add an index.asp file with a redirect i.e. "/pdfs/file_1001.pdf/index.asp" led to an error page because there's an override which doesn't allow site directory pages exposed.
Using a DNN module where I'd have to enter 500 files to redirect seems redundant when I only want to move a directory.
Any solutions to try?
In DNN if you have HOST level access you can modify Config files through the Host/Configuration manager page.
There you could modify the web.config file.
You might also look at the siteurls.config file (also accessible there) in which you could define some URL rules, might be as easy as
<RewriterRule>
<LookFor>/pdf/(.*)</LookFor>
<SendTo>/docs/pdf/$1</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>
The above rule is completely untested, not positive if it will do what you need or not.
I did a little more testing, and it looks like this won't work out of the box as a default setting that tells it to NOT rewrite PDF files, but I can't find the source code for that currently.
I am currently trying to download a small binary file from the web, in order to upload that to another website, both using the API.
Previous versions seemed to have the "file" API module for such purposes, but I can't see anything similar as of the latest (1.14).
The file to be downloaded would be saved in some form of cache (browser cache, preferably), its path stored somewhere, to be then uploaded to another URL via POST.
How would I go about it, when the process should happen completely in the background?
I checked out the how to download a file page, but can't figure out where to download.
Is there a variable URI for the "Downloads" directory, and does a regular Add-On has write privileges in it?.
This is important, because the add-on must be able to function properly on various platforms.
You can use the pref, browser.download.lastDir, which should work for windows/mac as it will be saved in the OS format. However the pref may not always be set if the person has never downloaded anything before. In that case you'll have to build the directory yourself.
var dir = require("sdk/preferences/service").get('browser.download.lastDir');
To build the directory yourself you're going to have to go a little deeper. Check this article on MDN about File I/O which has examples. The DfltDwnld key should give you the directory you want.
Your add-on will have write permissions to everything Firefox has write permission to.
I am doing some updates to a site I have developed over the last few years. It has grown rather erratically (I tried to plan ahead, but with this site it has taken some odd turns).
Anyway, the site has a community blog ( blog.domain.com - used to be domainblog.com) ) and users with personal areas ( user1.domain.com, user2.domain.com, etc ).
The personal areas have standard page content that the user can use, or add snippets of text to partially customize. Now the owner wants the users to be able to create their own content.
Everything is done up to using a file browser.
I need a browser that will allow me to do the following:
the browser needs to be able to browse the common files at blog.domain.com/files and the user files at user_x.domain.com/files
the browser will also need to be able to differentiate between the two and generate the appropriate image url.
of course, the browser access to the user files will need to be dynamic and only show those files particular to the user (along with the common files)
I also need to be able to set a file size for images
the admin area is in a different directory than either the blog or the user subdomains.
general directory structure
--webdir--
|--client --
|--clientsite--
|--blog (blog.domain.com)
|--sites--
|--main site (domain.com)
|--admin (admin.domain.com)
|--users--
|--user1 (user1.domain.com)
|--user2 (user2.domain.com)
...etc.
I have tried several different browsers and using symlinks but the browsers don't seem to be able to follow them. I am also having trouble even setting them to use a directory that isn't the default.
what browser would you recommend? what would I need to customize to make it work.
TIA
ok, since I have not had any responses to this question, I guess I will have to do a work around and then see about writing a custom file browser down the road.
