[ckan-dev] Previewing local files fails.

Tue Jun 18 10:51:48 UTC 2013

Hey,

This happens because the data proxy which is used to transform the data into something we can preview with recline needs the files to be accessible from the internet. The best solution is to store the data in the datastore and then the preview will work.

Cheers,
Dominik
