I am using Slim API for my Project. I want to offer Files for Download (Mostly PDF files). I found several Ways sending out a public link to the file, which i dont want. I also found an Middleware for the Version 2.4 of Slim, but I am using 3.x.
I just want to access the Route e.g. /downloads/version/2183
And the a Downlod with this certain File ID should start. I have a Path to the File on the Server in a variable available.
The Basic Idea behind is different restrictions, which user can download the file - but i can do that myself - the problem where I am stuck is, how to bring the Download over the Route to the Clients Browser
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Cheers,
Niklas
This is actually very easy.
Set the Proper Headers for the file on the Response Object
Read the contents of the file into the body of the Response Object
$app->get('/my/file', function ($req, $res, $args) {
return $res->withHeader('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
->withHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment')
->write(file_get_contents("file.txt"));
});

I'm trying to create a web page using Perfect(perfect.org), Where users will browse and upload files. Can anyone tell me how can I get the progress of file upload?
perfect.org-fileUploads
Refer above link and Do as-usual concept following in HTML-JS-PHP or HTML-JS-JSP or other programming
In other words
you can receive response status in percentage from server-side and display it to client or put loder while uploading the file
Thank you
Before an official solution released from PerfectlySoft Inc. for this feature request, you could try splitting the file into small pieces and upload them one by one, then merge them back to the server - since there is no such an industrial standard to apply, all other web servers either provide different solutions or simply stay away from it.
i'm beginner with GXT and i'm wondering if there is a way to parse a file and extract some informations without uploading it.
i created a formpanel that contains an uploadFile form but i don't know waht's next, how to get the complete path of the file so i can read/write with java io or how to retrieve the file or is there an alternatif solution, thank you.
Best Regards.
You can do it in some modern browsers using bleeding edge HTML5 apis for which you would need to use GWT JSNI code. There are no api's from GWT team as is.
HTML5 FileReader
FileReader includes four options for reading a file, asynchronously:
FileReader.readAsBinaryString(Blob|File) - The result property will contain the file/blob's data as a binary string.
FileReader.readAsText(Blob|File, opt_encoding) - The result property will contain the file/blob's data as a text string.
FileReader.readAsDataURL(Blob|File) - The result property will contain the file/blob's data encoded as a data URL.
FileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(Blob|File) - The result property will contain the file/blob's data as an ArrayBuffer object.
Example of GWT wrapper over these -

You can read about it more from here - How to retrieve file from GWT FileUpload component?
IMHO you cannot read it .
Due to security reasons javascript(gwt) doesn't have access to the system drives files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Security
see Opening a file in local file system in javascript
In order to get the file you need to make a server call.
Instead you can do your validation server side and throw proper messages to user.
P.S : i am not considering modern browser concept.What happens if someone opened in other than so called modern browsers?? Will the programm runs same?? Its always better to do server side validation..
I'm facing a problem in the development of a GWT+Phonegap application. At some point, I want to upload media (image and sound files) that the app produces with Phonegap (from the camera, microphone, etc.) to a JackRabbit server.
The first thing I found was the FileTransfer from Phonegap, and I thought it was perfect. However, I soon realized that FileTransfer doesn't allow headers on its requests - or at least I couldn't find a way to do it. This header is my authentication, so I can't really work around that. Also, from what I understood from the API, the FileTransfer allows only one pair of parameters - I need at least 5.
What I really needed was a way to upload files that is was flexible as the GWT RequestBuilder, which I use on any other cases besides file transfers and works perfectly, but accesses transparently the device's file system as phonegap does. Does anyone know if my problem has a known solution?
Actually the FileTransfer code allows you have specify as many parameters as you want. Just do this:
var params = new Object();
params.value1 = "test";
params.value2 = "param";
params.value3 = "third";
Also add you comments to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-78
so we can find out exactly what is needed to be added for FileTransfer headers.
i was trying to reverse engineer a website ("www.asklaila.com") to find out how their yahoo UI AutoComplete Widget is working. Upon finding the view source of it, i saw it is refering to a file called "/autocomplete.do", i wanted to know what does this autocomplete.do file mean and can i download and open it locally on my machine?
Hope my requisite is legitimate and ethical.
As explained by FileInfo.com, the .do extension represents a server side Java code file that runs on the server and outputs HTML to the response.
Therefore, you cannot download it and view its contents. Any requests to the file will either return the same HTML or an HTTP error if it requires parameters/form fields.
I'm currently hosting an Eclipse plugin update site on sourceforge.net . SF.net does not allow access to server logs but I'd still like to know how many downloads the plugin gets.
Is there an alternative way of gathering them?
I'm not going to have any sort of 'call home' feature in the plugin, so please don't suggest that.
I wrote a blog about how to track downloads of an Eclipse plug-in update site. What you can do is specify a url to your server and every time a download is initiated the update site will send an HTTP HEAD request to that url, which you can then use to count the number of times the plug-in was downloaded. If you want to track some information about who is downloading the plug-in you can pass information, like the package name, version, os, and and store it in a database.

I hope it helps!
It is possible to host the plugin jars in the file release service, and then get your site.xml file to point to them. You need to point at a specific mirror to make it work.
This will tell you how many times people download each file as with a normal file release.
Unfortunately, in practice this is a lot of work to maintain, and tends to be unreliable (I kept getting bug reports saying the update site wasn't working).
You could write a very simple php script which just serves up the relevant file, and logs the download to a file or DB. Make sure it double checks the URL is a valid one to download to the user of course :)
Once that's in place, you can update the site.xml to point to the correct thing, or you could probably use URL rewriting to intercept requests to your jar file and pass them through the script. I've never tried that on the SF servers, but it might work.
EDIT:
Even better, just have a php script which sends a redirect like this:
<?php
$file = $_GET('file');
// Now log the access to file
header('Location: ' . $file);
?>
Just a thought: AFAIK, SourceForge does tell you how much data you served. You know the size of your plugin JARs. Divide the data served by the size of your plugin and you get a rough estimate of how many downloads you had.
