<@makeurl /> equivalent for webscripts

I wanted to know, if there's a quick way to mimic the convenient <@makeurl asset=asset/> which is found in wcmqs.Basically I need to retrieve for a specific website a full list of assets./folder/folder1/assetname1.html/folder/folder1/assetname2.html/folder/folder2/assetname3.html/folder/folder

Do you want to get the document url throught webscripts api ? I'm afraid it is not possible out of box .
It seems it is feasible to build document url using cmis atom binding,but when client user click the url ,he will be asked to provide his authentication. So I think it is not a good ideal.

You can construct a url using node id for every asset returned by your cmis query,your url will send request to your proxy servlet.
<code>/yourproxysevlet?nodeid= nodeid
And in you proxy sevlet get the document id and current user credentials information, then use cmis api download file from repository and send stream to user browser.

Thanks for your reply.

The list I am preparing is not meant to be served and clicked by the users, but this is definitely a suggestion I would take into account for other works I am doing.

Can you provide an example of building the url starting from the node id ? Or at least point out the relevant api or methods for doing that.
As I specified I am in a web script 'environment'.

By the way, a correction to my question is needed because I probably have used wrong terms: it is not a url I am trying to build, but just the full path starting from the site root.

I'm sorry I am not very clear about your mean by a web script 'environment'.
Could you please restate your requirement?
Do you want to customize a webscript or do you want to call existing webscript?
From where do you want to call the webscript ?share?
What is the function of your webscript?
