Worksite Web - Intercepting downloads

Josh123

Hi all,

I need to find a way to intercept a download request in worksite web (worksite 8.2), in order to modify the file (on-the-fly), and proceed to stream it to the downloader.

Specifically, this is to stamp a dynamically generated watermark to confidential PDF documents downloaded from worksite web, with the intention that this process is completely transparent to the user.

Currently, I'm looking at modifying the download_ex() functions in common.js, to redirect the request to a purpose-built .aspx page to acheive this, but I thought I'd ask if there were a better way of doing this?

Cheers

Josh,

You can do couple of things

1) Write a HTTModule and intercept all requests (check for viewdoc httphandler request)

2) replace the worksite httphandler ( imanage.worksite.web.UI.viewdoc) withy our custom handler - You will need to modify web.config with your custom handler
