The following sections show the URL formats you can use to access a namespace. These formats all use a domain name to identify the HCP system. If the HCP system does not support DNS, you can use the client hosts file to enable access to a namespace by hostname. For information about configuring hostnames on the client system, see Using a hosts file.
URL for the namespace as a whole
The URL that identifies a namespace as a whole has this format:
https://namespace-name.tenant-name.hcp-domain-name/webdav
For example:
https://finance.europe.hcp.example.com/webdav
URLs for objects, directories, and symbolic links
To access an object, directory, or symbolic link in a namespace, you use a URL that includes the data directory. The format for this is:
https://namespace-name.tenant-name.hcp-domain-name/webdav/data
[/directory-path[/object-name|symbolic-link-name]]
Here’s a sample URL that identifies a directory:
https://finance.europe.hcp.example.com/webdav/data/Corporate/Employees
Here’s a sample URL that identifies an object:
https://finance.europe.hcp.example.com/webdav/data/Corporate/Employees/
2193_John_Doe
You cannot tell from a URL whether it represents an object, directory, or symbolic link.
URLs for metafiles and metadirectories
To access a metafile or metadirectory, you use a URL that includes the metadata directory. The format for this is:
https://namespace-name.tenant-name.hcp-domain-name/webdav/
metadata/metadirectory-path[/metafile-name]
Here’s a sample URL that identifies a metadirectory:
https://finance.europe.hcp.example.com/webdav/metadata/Corporate/Employees/
2193_John_Doe
Here’s a sample URL that identifies a metafile:
https://finance.europe.hcp.example.com/webdav/metadata/Corporate/Employees/
2193_John_Doe/shred.txt
