I''m trying to build a simple proxy to Amazon S3 that would allow a client to request a url that gets mapped to a S3 Object by Rails and streamed back to the client. For S3 integration, I use the highly recommended gem AWS::S3 (http://amazon.rubyforge.org/), and to send a file, I simply use the send_file function.

Hi, I''m working on allowing users of my website to embed media from places like YouTube, Flickr, Google Video, Slide.com, etc. into their home pages, but I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions or links to good articles about how to make sure the embedded content is cleaned / safe. One thing that came to mind was to regular expression check against each type of embedded media.

Hi, I am reading RSS feeds and quite often I get the following error in the "net" library. Anybody had such error before? Any info would be very useful?

Hi, I am behind a firewall which does not permit connections to port 22, so I run my ssh server on port 23. :-) Unfortunately, the stupid firewall prints a few lines of junk when you make a connection to port 23 before actually starting the connection. This confuses ssh. Attached is an (ugly) patch against openssh-1.2pre15 which makes it ignore a configurable number of lines while looking for

I''m having problems sending emails sometimes using ActionMailer. Looks like some emails are never sent because something breaks when sending it. It is a small quantity but can''t even have one drop. Browsing through the list I saw that one person had the same error as I did but in his case he couldn''t send any emails and in the end he needed no authentication at all.

Hi, I''m developing a Rails application that (amongst other things) lets users download media files. These files range in size from a few kilobytes up to several gigabytes. All this development is taking place with Rails 1.0 on a Solaris host with Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails mode set to "development". I''m using the Rails send_file method to send each file with these

I have a fix for the sendfile.c code for HP-UX - length not properly specified prior to call. I've also added code to support the AIX send_file() function and configure.in code to check for AIX specific send_file API and sets AIX_SENDFILE_API if successful. Could you consider this patch for 3.0.11? I also sent a web/cgi.c patch for "struct var" last week with respect to compile

Hello, I''m working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user. After doing some quick tests with send_file I noticed that send_file does not block until the user has downloaded the full file, but proceeds with the

The same code fails to send anything but a 500 error when run under Apache, and a log file message "warning: syswrite for buffered IO".

What happens is that I''m keeping track of disk space so I need to delete the zip immediately. I was
