As with the version.txt page in Adobe Connect, you may allow direct access to a page in Adobe Connect. The version.txt is is a fitting example because it is viewed by appending version.txt to the Adobe Connect Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

platinum.adobeconnect.com/version.txt

The version.txt is found in the common directory on the Adobe Connect server so you may also find it at this URL:

platinum.adobeconnect.com/common/version.txt

The feature.xml file in Adobe Connect is edited to allow access to the version.txt file without appending the common directory depicted in the URL above; version.txt is found in /appserv/common however you you don’t need /common to call it because of the /appserverv/apps/feature.xml entry below. You can just hit /version.txt on the FQDN and it works. That is because in feature.xml you have this entry:

1. <!–  friendlier version of /common/version.txt  –>
2. <feature name=”version.txt” protocol=”content”>
3. <attribute name=”path” value=”version.txt”/>
4. </feature>

For example, if you have an html page called ‘test.html’ and drop it in /appserv/common, but don’t want /common in the path to gain direct access to it, you can add this to feature.xml:

1. <!–  friendlier version of /common/test.html  –>
2. <feature name=”test.html” protocol=”content”>
3. <attribute name=”path” value=”test.html”/>
4. </feature>

Then, after cycling the Adobe Connect services, you can call https://fqdn/test.html instead of /common/test.html
