Dissecting a QuarkXPress
Server URL
The general URL format to access QuarkXPress Server and apply parameters to projects or to modify
QuarkXPress Server behavior through a Web browser is as follows:
http://Server:Port/Namespace/Directory/Documentname?Parameter=Value
For QuarkXPress Server Manager, use the following URL:
http://Server:Port/quark/servlet/qxpsm/Namespace/Directory/Documentname?Parameter=Value
Note: This Guide provides numerous sample URLs in QuarkXPress Server format. To convert these
examples for use with QuarkXPress Server Manager, simply insert /quark/servlet/qxpsm after
Port/ .
Note: Earlier versions of QuarkXPress Server Manager work with absolute paths only (for example,
Hard Drive:Users:UserName:FolderName:ImageName on Mac OS). With QuarkXPress Server
Manager 7.22, you can use absolute paths or you can use relative paths. When you modify a project
with SDK objects or SDK classes (such as “SaveAsRequest”) that uses absolute paths, you can use
relative paths. The relative paths are relative to QuarkXPress Server, which means the path is relative to
the document pool. If you use multiple QuarkXPress Servers, you should be sure to use a common
document pool.
Server
The name or IP address of the computer for QuarkXPress Server or QuarkXPress Server Manager.
Port
The port number on which to contact QuarkXPress Server or QuarkXPress Server Manager. The

Namespace
Defines what the URL action will be and any parameters and conditions available to that namespace.

The path in the document pool where the project is stored.
Note: The directory path is the relative path from the QuarkXPress Server document pool. To access the
root level, no directory path is necessary.
Document Name
The name of the QuarkXPress project that you can access from the document pool or the content
provider.
Parameter
Further defines the URL action with attributes and values allowed for the namespace or general call.
Parameters are passed in the form attribute=value and are separated by the "&" character.
