Rails - Apr 2006 - Upload a zip using a form and extract if afterwards on srv?

Hi all

It like my visitors to be able to upload a zip file (or any other 
possible compressed file archive) to my server. After upload, my web app 
should extract the content to the server and delete the zip file.

Is this possible somehow? I''m very thankful for help.

Have a nice weekend,
Joshua

google for rubyzip, or use a native tool with a cli.

you can easy call command line tools in ruby with %x(your commands)  
and by various other means.

Also, I''d recommend setting up backgroundrb to actually do the
unzipping, since doing it via system will block your rails app till it
finishes, and forking it off will drop your database connection.
