Description
Moving this issue from #407622: Handle uploaded files. The issue at the moment is that there may be a conflict with filefield if that is enabled as well.
#1
How does resource.module interact with files [the database table files] in Drupal 6, or the file interface [hook_file] in Drupal 7? I've only skimmed resource.module, but from my understanding it's set up to supersede them. Aaron mentioned a stream wrapper patch that hasn't been committed to Drupal 7 core yet, but I haven't heard any news on that.
So my question for the day: what is the plan?
#2
#227232: Support PHP stream wrappers is the stream wrappers patch. it needs some overhauling to move it more towards the resource module's way of operating.
#3
Drupal 6 support will need to backport the entire File API which will hopefully include stream wrappers.
