Hi, Lets say, we want these resources: /folder_a/1.jpg /folder_a/2.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a/3.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a/4.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a2/8.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a2/9.jpg /folder_b/5.jpg /folder_c/6.jpg /folder_c/7.jpg so instead of writing this value at the ":path" header field: "/folder_a/1.jpg /folder_a/2.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a/3.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a/4.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a2/8.jpg /folder_a/sub_folder_a2/9.jpg /folder_b/5.jpg /folder_c/6.jpg /folder_c/7.jpg" we can use this shorter format for the header field: "/folder_a/ 1.jpg 2.jpg sub_folder_a/ 3.jpg 4.jpg ../sub_folder_a2/ 8.jpg 9.jpg /folder_b/5.jpg /folder_c 6.jpg 7.jpg" The idea behind the new format is to represent a directed forest (graph theory): - when a token begins with "/", than it represents a new directed tree in the forest. - when a token ends with "/", than it is a cut vertex of the current tree, and it is part of the path of the rest of the following vertexes of the current tree. - when a token doesn't end with a "/", than it is a leaf (a resource), and all the previous cut vertexes of the current tree, build it path. - when a token begins with this pattern "(?:../)+" with n repetitions, than when we build the path of the rest of the vertexes of the current tree, than we should go up in the directed tree n times. I hope my explanation is clear, Thanks, Dvir
