I'm trying to figure out a way to stream a file to a remote user, and be able to determine that the download completed, so I can delete the file being streamed. I may be missing an obvious way to do this, so I'm hoping you all can help me out.
Here's the sequence of events I'm after: 1. User clicks URL pointing to perl script. 2. Perl script pulls file out of LDAP, and writes it temporarily to disk. 3. File is uudecoded on the disk. 4. Decoded file is streamed to user, who saves the file locally. 5. Once it is determined that the download is complete, the temp file on the web server is deleted. Steps 4 and 5 are what I'm really after - the rest is relatively straight forward. For security reasons, we don't want the file to remain on the web server filesystem any longer than it has to, which is why I need to delete it after being downloaded. Emailing the file is not an option, also due to security reasons. Can anyone help me out with a way to do this? Thanks.
