WOPI CheckFileInfo FileUrl property

Docs API
1

Hi,

according to the Microsoft WOPI spec CheckFileInfo supports a property FileUrl that allows to provide a URL to a document. This tells the document server to load the document from the given url instead of using the GetFile endpoint. I tried this with OnlyOffice using a pre-signed URL to an S3 object but couldn’t make it work. It didn’t find the FileUrl property in the OnlyOffice WOPI documentation, so I wonder if this property is supported? If not are there any plans to add it to the implementation?

Hello @StefanW

You have mentioned MS documentation for CheckFileInfo, can you share a link to it for review?

Sure. Here is the link to the Microsoft documentation mentioning the FileUrl property CheckFileInfo Response properties | Microsoft Learn

Thank you. I was informed that the FileURL parameter is supported, even though it is not described in the documentation, due to its unpopularity.

Basically, using FileURL parameter would send a request to the file directly, i.e. not according to the regular WOPI protocol scheme. For FileURL no WOPI headers will be provided.

Thank you Constantine, thank you very much for the quick reply. It is very good to know that the FileUrl property is supported. (now I just have to figure out, why my presigned Url is not working, but I will find that :slight_smile: )
