Convertit

A conversion webservice.

Idea is to make a GET request to the webservice and you ll get a downloadable transformed file: Documents are pulled by the webserver.

GET parameters are:

  • url: a url to a document to be grabbed from transformation
  • output_mt: (optionnal, default to application/pdf if not provided)
  • input_mt: (optionnal, guessed from input url if not provided)

Older transformed documents are cleaned after a defined time, tested at each http request on the application.

base transforms: - odt -> pdf - odt -> doc - svg -> pdf
