US Patent 7904570 Configurable file placement

In publishing to a Web server, a set of placement rules are entered by a user. These placement rules set a location on the Web server for storing the various files supporting a request to publish to the Web server. Type identifiers, such as file extensions, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types, and the like, are used in the rules to assign certain types of files to the desired locations. When a developer or designer requests to publish to the Web server, all of the files supporting this publication request are read to determine their file type identifiers. Using the type identifiers, a location is assigned to each of the files that corresponds to the location assigned in the placement rules.
