IAsset absolute URL

[Shawn Church <sh...@boxity.com>]

One of my pages needs to send a version of itself as an HTML-formatted 
email message.  Everything is working fine, except for the relative 
stylesheet links which are rendered by my @Shell component.  

I prefer to use context-assets, but I see that Shell uses 
IAsset.buildURL() to generate the URL, and buildURL generates relative 
links.  I can use external-assets, but I prefer not to do that since 
portability is affected.

Does anything exist to create absolute URLs from an Asset?  Should a 
buildAbsoluteURL() method be added to IAsset?

Re: IAsset absolute URL

[Shawn Church <sh...@boxity.com>]

I didn't get any takers on this one, so I'm now looking into my own 
implementation.  The main thing I am trying to accomplish is to extend 
the functionality of context-asset to generate absolute (fully-
qualified with scheme/server/port) URLs, or to create my own 
specification element (if possible).

The asset types I am needing are stylesheets and images, and I would 
like to implement IAsset if possible, because I like the @Shell support 
of stylesheets.  Has anyone done anything similar?

Thanks,
Shawn
