Need help displaying a MS Azure blob file on a webpage.
I need to use MS Azure Blob storage for my app. I can use the provided documentation to upload the files. However, I want to display those files, which must be secured, on a webpage. I see documentation on downloading. But I’m not seeing any documentation or examples on using these files in a browser. Can anyone point me to some resources that might help? Thanks in advance.
Athelene, first, it may help if you’d say what kind of files you want want to “display”. Separate from the new cloud feature, Cf has long had features for manipulating and even rendering various specific file types (like cfimage, cfpdf, cfspreadsheet, and more, and also in cfscript equivalents).
Then still more generically, cf has long had cfcontent, which can control how files are sent to a client (whether for display or for saving in the client end), and with support for controlling mime types, and more.
Let’s see if that helps you a bit, and what other discussion it may lead to.
