ingesting HTML archives

[John Rodriquez (praaks)]

Hi,

The documentation on how to handle HTML archives which contain relative links hasn't been updated for DSpace 7 (https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Ingesting+HTML+Archives). In DSpace 7 (I'm running 7.4), I realize bitstreams now have UUIDs instead of sequence ids in their URLs. This seems to break the relative links in the HTML file. Links that worked in DSpace 6 no longer work in DSpace 7. The relative link is converted to a link containing the main HTML files's UUID. For example:

The main HTML file link in the item record: 

http://dspace.xxxx.ee:8080/server/api/core/bitstreams/412b6597-1b7a-4edf-8ca1-1effd3185276/content

The relative link in the main HTML file for a "goto.html" becomes:

http://dspace.xxxx.ee:8080/server/api/core/bitstreams/412b6597-1b7a-4edf-8ca1-1effd3185276/goto.html   ... resulting in a 404 error ...

... though of course, this second file has its own UUID, and its direct address is:

http://testdspace.tktk.ee:8080/server/api/core/bitstreams/fe3299dc-327e-429f-9ec8-8652e84af8f3/content

Is there a way to get around this so relative links aren't broken? Maybe I've misunderstood something? Maybe it's a configuration issue?

Hi John,

It appears that this is not yet supported in DSpace 7.  I'm not seeing a way to get this to work either, because the DSpace 7 Bitstream URLs have changed from the structure in DSpace 6.

I've created a bug ticket for this: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8635  I'm not sure offhand how to resolve this, as I think it needs more detailed analysis & prioritization.

Tim

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye on the issue. Maybe something will be worked out in the next version.

Regards,

John
