Troi URL: Getting a local file?

[Howard Schlossberg]

Hi--

I haven't been able to find anything on your website about this:

My client uses Troi URL and I am now trying to use it for them to
read/process a local file.  Since the file is not on a web server, I
cannot (I don't think?) use the http/https protocol, which seems to be
the only one that Troi URL can use.

The file is used to process some javascript functions.  It works
properly via a web browser using a URL like:
   
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Howard/Desktop/TEST_AWS_Helper/index.html?data=blahBlahBlah
But I get an "unrecognized protocol" error when trying to run it with
Troi URL.

Any thoughts?  I am trying to use the URL call within a FileMaker custom
function, which means there is no interface to easily use FM's built-in
web viewer.

Thanks...

Hi Howard,

Have a look at the SmartPill PHP plugin.

http://www.scodigo.com/products/smartpill-php/

It allows you to execute PHP code,  which should allow you to do this,  
but with a lot more work unfortunately.


Kent.
