WebStore is intended to handle images and the generation of thumbnails in a multiple-server environment. It includes a web-server error 404 handler; if a thumbnail is requested that does not already exist on the local server, the request is forwarded to another server so that the thumbnail image may be automatically generated.

Communication between the multiple servers is based on WWW protocols (http) only.

The WebStore extension is needed by the ProofreadPage extension. Unfortunately, documentation seems to be missing completely. Please add anything you know about this extension here.

WebStore extends the FileStore.

[edit] Installation

WebStore comes with a file called 404-handler.php. To be able to catch 404 events, it needs to be registered as a 404 handler.

Using Apache, adding something like

ErrorDocument 404 /extensions/WebStore/404-handler.php

should work.
