Hi, I'm sorry if this is slightly OT, but I'm trying to find a way to do the following. I have a bunch of processes that generate regular update files. Each file may be between 100KB - 4MB in size.
On the other side, I have people who want to pick up the most recent version of this file. So, I need to give them a fixed URL to the file. When they make a request, they would like to get only the most recent file. Initially, I thought that something like FTP would work, but I run into the problem that if a request comes in when the file is being updated, the client may not get a valid file. The other extreme is to have an upload controller and a download controller and then store the file in a database, so that it can be served up through the database. The database serializes it so that I don't have to worry. But, since the files can be large, it seems a bit of a waste to use this approach. Is there a better way? Anything that you would recommend? Thanks, Mohit. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
