I am trying your cloud document viewer pasting a url in the “Open file from the web” field.
I get an error message "The specified path too long. The fully qualified path name must be less than 260 characters"
But my url is only 211 characters.
fyi, the url is a link to azure blob storage with an SAS similar to below
hxxxs://xxxxxxxxxxxstorage.blob.core.windows.net/newcontainer/13f39b51-5268-xxxx-859f-e732ec153863.docx?sr=c&sp=rwd&sig=xxxxxxxxqYyCScFiw3ZRZJrEunSst5v2fn4n0KwB/KI%3D&sv=2016-05-31&se=2017-05-03T14%3A50%3A20Z
This would require supplying GroupDocs with my Azure account key which is definitely not 'best practice’
Why cannot I pass a Url with SAS information? This would be passed along to azure which would accept and supply the doc.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I have discussed this with our Product team and here what I have found out:
the document saved in db has the entire url as filename…also on groupdocsStorage it is stored in a folder My Web Documents so for accessing the file from Groupdocs storage the paths is like -
My Web Documents\hxxxs%3A%2F%2Fstephensuttonstorage.blob.core.windows%2Fnewcontainer%2F13f39b51-5268-4f81-859f-e732ec153863.docx%3Fsr%3Dc%26sp%3Drwd%26sig%3DRRxPpOfQqYyCScFiw3ZRZJrEunSst5v2fn4n0KwB%2FKI%253D%26sv%3D2016-05-31%26se%3D2017-05-03T14%253A50%253A20Z
which has more than 260 characters the file has to be retrieved from groupdocs storage when it is opened in viewer so the error comes from that section of code.
We will resolve this issue.
Best regards.
