.... After the site looks good under Zope, they want to "publish" the content to another (offsite, timeshared) Apache webserver. This would be standard HTML after Zope processes it (no DTML), and regular images (GIF/JPG), Flash, and AVI files. The deal is, they want to use a webhosting service that does not offer Zope. You know "sitecopy" or "wget"? Search the mailing list archives for details...
... The first problem I see is that objects in zope don't carry extensions, i.e., it's index_html, not index.html. The Apache server would use those extensions to come up with the MIME type (HTTP Content-Type header)--if the files from Zope don't have extensions, how will the Apache server know what kind of file it is (and not just serve it up under the default text/plain MIME type?) Then give them extensions!
The "index_html" problem can be solved (in most cases) by putting a DTML Method (! not a Document) into the Zope root with the content: <dtml-var index.html> It works as a redirector to your "index.html". Again a search in the mailing list archives will reveal more details... Dieter
