shape as url

[Ethan Alpert]

How would that work? There's no random access to URL's they're a stream
of data. You can't seek in a file that is a URL.

Hi,
Is there a way to set the map path for shapefiles and grassdatas and
whatever 
as an URL?
The idea is to get the stuff working from inside a content management
system, 
where the unix datapath is lost and an url is assigned to it. That would
ease 
the possibility to archive datasets with different views and make them 
browsable and searchable.

Thanks,
Andrea
