Accessing Local Files

With the purpose of providing secure urls to files that are not located in the application’s web tree, we included two methods:

VirtualUI.HTMLDoc.CreateSessionURL(URL, LocalPath)

This method allows you to create a virtual URL valid during the session’s lifetime.

• URL: The virtual URL to access the Filename or Directory specified in LocalPath.
• LocalPath: Can be a file name or a directory. If it is a file name, the URL parameter resolves to that filename; if it is a directory, the URL parameter is a virtual path that can be used to access any file under this local directory.

URL = VirtualUI.HTMLDoc.GetUniqueURL(Filename, lifetime)

This method allows you to create a unique virtual URL for a specific file, valid during the time specified in minutes in the Lifetime parameter.

• Filename: Points to the local filename we want to create a unique URL for.
• Lifetime: The time during which the returned URL will be valid.
