[Zope] - Import file via HTTP

[Jessica Niewint]

Ok I did the following:
in my url I call the manage_addFile like this:
<a 
href="http://my.server.com:8080/test/manage_addFile?id=myZope.pdf&file=/usr/exchange/my.pdf">LINK</a>
but in this case Zope insert the Path information 
'/usr/exchange/my.pdf'   ...and not the file itself. I quit sure this is 
stupid mistake ...
