If I create a webpage in DotNetNuke, and I point to an html page that is stored in DMX using the WebDav formatted URL, (i.e. www.mysite/dmxdav.axd/path/to/file.html), then IIS serves the web page, and I can see it just fine.

If I reference a JPG file using a relative reference from within file.html, say "images/picture.jpg", then IIS says the file can not be found.  I get the same 404 message if I try to access "http://www.mysite/dmxdav.axd/path/to/images/picture.jpg".  Does this have something to do with the configuration of MIME types in IIS, or something to do with the way DMX handles GET requests.

I notice that there is a free app on this site which expands saved mhtml archives into a particular module.  I would guess that the resulting archive can not be stored in DMX for this reason.  But maybe there's a workaround?  I'm basically trying to decide on the best way of archiving web reference material, and I thought storing the files in DMX presented a versatile way of doing so; but if I can't view the saved file via the web, then I may have to change my approach.

Thanks.

Hi Patrick,

Interesting case. I'd opt to use the 'direct url' rather than WebDAV for this. The direct url does not introduce dependencies with the client's browser. This url can be seen when you select 'Show Direct Link' and can be recognized by the url pointing to DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Download.aspx. I've used this with html and jpg files alike.
