The readers CAN download books directly from a web server. They don't need to go through a booklist page to download them properly.

The solution is configuring the web server to handle IMP files with their correct MIME type: application/x-softbook.
I added that MIME type to an Apache web server on my LAN and a book I posted downloaded without any problem. There it was, perfectly sitting in my readers bookshelf!!
The question is: Will Mobileread managers add that to their servers? Hope they do so 
Good luck to you guys |
Amazing find!
Now to add this functionality to the current Linreb & privoxy solution. Where would you apply a patch to get the MIME type (application/x-softbook) properly transmitted through to the ebook reader?
One step closer to that 'IMP Download Guide" becoming a reality...
Thanks Ret!
