Matt,

 

If you make the document public you can use the 
shorter

"backdoor" path:

 

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/4384/ebMSv3-Whitepaper.doc

 

Where ../committees/.. replaces the long Kavi goup 
path.

Subject: [chairs] Short URLs, 
  NOW...PLEASE...!!!

  

When using the OASIS document template in MS word, my Document 
  location on page one wraps because of the stupid URL path that Kavi uses. Can 
  we get an interim solution that uses Apache's rewrite module to 
  rewrite:

http://www.oasis-open.org/doc/ebxml-msg/4384/ebMSv3-Whitepaper.doc

to

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-msg/download.php/4384/ebMSv3-Whitepaper.doc

I 
  would rather take a look at how Kavi stores documents in its repository, and 
  make a handler to shorten the URL, resulting in URLs 
  like:

http://www.oasis-open.org/doc/ebxml-msg/ebMSv3-Whitepaper.doc

...but 
  the mod-rewrite solution would be quick and easy and would make my document 
  look 
  nicer.
