We have a multimedia application that allows users to download wallpapers and watch video clips. As of now we just have a limited number of pictures and videos stored within the application bundle (which drives the app size up). Now we are going to set up a webserver to house the content, and the application will be accessing the content over the internet.
I have never worked on or setup a webserver, but our client said he would rather add the content to their server anyways. Is there a certain way it needs to be setup? Is all I need is a url to access each picture and video? I apologize if I didn’t explain that too good. I’m not too familiar with the server end of things. Thanks for any help.
We will have over 100 pictures and probably around 20 video clips. Does each image and video clip need to be setup with its own url? Or is there another way to do it?
Just wanted to post another solution. But you could just write a server side script that searches for the file names. This saves you from creating a new page for every resource and saves you from having to deal with that many urls. In the app, access the script and pass in the fileName (http://www.yourserver.com/getFile.php?file=fileName). Thanks for the help Alex. This was an answer provided by “jprofit” on another forum. Thanks to him too. Alex’s solution may be easier if you have a few resources, but for as many as I’m dealing with, this is the way we are going with.
