I haven't tried this myself, but it sounds like what you're looking for is enabling remote streaming: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ContentStream#head-7179a128a2fdd5dde6b1af553ed41735402aadbf
As the link above shows you should be able to enable remote streaming like this: <requestParsers enableRemoteStreaming="true" multipartUploadLimitInKB="2048" /> and then something like this might work: stream.url=http://www.sub.myDomain.com/files/pdfdocs/testfile.pdf<http://www.sub.mydomain.com/files/pdfdocs/testfile.pdf> So you use stream.url instead of stream.file. Hope this helps. -Jay On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 7:40 AM, ahammad <ahmed.ham...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I can index rich documents like pdf for instance that are on the > filesystem. > Can we use ExtractingRequestHandler to index files that are accessible on a > website? > > For example, there is a file that can be reached like so: > http://www.sub.myDomain.com/files/pdfdocs/testfile.pdf > > How would I go about indexing that file?
