Relative content_url path

[jbjorge]

Hi Nic, and thanks for creating such a great plugin! It's quite fantastic to be able to push out fixes and changes instantly to my customers!

In my current setup I have one app which all my customers use. Each customer host their own content-server and set the url to that server in the app. From that url I set the config-file-url in JS so the app knows where to fetch its updates. So far, so good.

Here's the challenge
I want to keep a one-to-one relation between my customer's server and the code-instance they run their app on, so that when they update their server, their app gets updated as well.

To accomplish this, I want to host the chcp.json on the same server as chcp.manifest and the app-code for simplicity. Right now, this means that I have to manually set the content_url to match the server's url on each deployment I do.

I don't know if this is an edge-case or if it is already supported, but it would be great if i could set content_url in chcp.json to be relative to chcp.json by doing

content_url: '/relative/path'

So e.g.

"config-file": http://example.com/chcp.json
and
content_url: '/'

means that chcp.manifest (and the files) is located at http://example.com/chcp.manifest

Is this possible or up for consideration for implementing?

Hi @jbjorge ,
Thanks :)

The feature that you requested is a good one and I should add it. Something similar is mentioned in issue #161. I think I'll implement it in the version after 1.4, when I'll be focusing on simplifying configuration files.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is really reassuring to use a plugin from such an active developer! :)
