Hi, I want to mirror a file/folder of web, similar to WebDAV.
When application read a file, my minifilter will download real content from web, and put it into target file to let read go on.
But I can’t do this in PreCreatFileCallback because it’s too early and does not satisfy requirement.
Besides, my web server doesn’t support WebDAV, so I have to use a minifilter to achieve it.
One idea is that, at the timing of PreCreatFileCallback, I create a fake file with the same size of web file. Then, at the timing of PreReadFileCallback, I download the real content(with accurate offset and length) and write it into target file to let read go on.
I am afraid at the timing of PreReadFileCallback, I possibly have no write access right to put content into target file.
Could any one please give me suggestion?
Thanks.
Probably you need an RDBSS-based redirector and not a minifilter.
