Feature Request: Deploy to Dynamics 365
If you could manage the bridge from vscode to dynamics 365 webresources that would be amazing. I know that this would be extremely difficult I guess.
Is there something like a (REST) API that can be used to upload and/or create webresources?
How do you upload these resources?
For the newbie user, they'd upload those via a form. There are a lot of C# methods to do it. There is a REST api, but I don't know of a way to upload webresources via that way. Maybe have a look at XrmToolBox WebResourceManager. Usually ppl use that or a Visual Studio (not Code ;)) integration.
According to this article (Full URL chapter) web resources can be accessed via an URL like https://MyOrganization.crm.dynamics.com/WebResources/new_/test/test.htm.
Is it also possible to upload files via WebDAV by using basic authentication, e.g.?
This would be a great chance to implement such a target :D
As you can see, the target is only virtual, the webresource is stored in a MSSQL DB. I don't know a way how to create one via JavaScript that is why I think it is so difficult. And Dynamics is proprietary and mainly focused on the cloud so you cannot install something on the server.
What I mean is:
Maybe it is possible to upload via a "raw" HTTP (PUT) request with your credentials and a tool like cURL or a tool that is similar or your web browser:
curl -T .\localTest.htm https://MyOrganization.crm.dynamics.com/WebResources/new_/test/test.htm --user MyOrganization\con-ssc:password
In that case, WebDAV works as a layer for any operations of Microsoft Dynamics: I do a simple and common request to the URL of the web resource and inside Dynamics, Microsoft does "the magic" with MSSQL and all the things I do not need to do.
The only thing I get is a HTTP response to check if anythings worked fine.
https://github.com/davidyack/gulp-webresource I found this the other day for Dynamics 365 online. If someone could add NTLM auth too for on premise that would be great.
