google drive hosting changes in URL

by

I found the right thread at google.com to answer this. Here it is: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/drive/mTyJXruRhBg

In short, the redirect and prefix is here to stay. It’s for some security thing. All files within the same googledrive folder will be prefixed with the same guid-looking string. That is, provided we use this googledrive url form: googledrive.com/host/{folderID}/FriendlyFilename. Then, any support files you want to access or link from that folder, just access them as FriendlyFilename with relative url form.

My problem was, I was using the obscure form googledrive.com/host/{userID+fileID}. (no FolderID or FriendlyFilename). That now gets a different domain prefix for every file within the same folder.

Here’s a different variation of that test file I showed above (which was getting Security exception for webworker). It works now by using the {FolderID}/FriendlyFilename form. Tada. https://googledrive.com/host/0B8BLd2qPPV7XME1rNU9iWnYtbTg/ded-worker-F12throw.html
