[Moin-user] reference ot external file possible?

[Markus Liebelt]

What I forgot:

In the console of Moin, I find the following message:

localhost - - [02/Oct/2005 12:35:04] "GET /SpielWiese?action=extfile&do=get&root=pb&file=show.txt HTTP/1.1" 500 -

So a 500 seems to indicate that the server had some error, but that does not help too much.

Bye

If anyone could point me to some example that does similar things, I will dive again into python (last wrote something in python now 8 years ago) and implement that solution (of cource, with providing it to the community :-)).
