Hi I need to setup a prototype for a web application which will expose a REST api to manage zipped sqlite db files, representing a mobile application project storage. I'm considering web2py because it seems agile and very well suited, but I would like to know if its "batteries included" can fullfil my needs easily. For the moment the workflow should be:
1 - post to an http service of a zipped sqlite.db and a NAME field (a textual identifier of the file) 2 - the file should be saved in a tmp folder, then unzipped 3 - the NAME field and the name of the uncompressed folder should be saved in a model, containing only these two fields 4 - the user can browse a page listing the uploaded sqlite files, and clicking on them a page will be opened which will show the extracted data.... etc. I've seen a lot of facilites that SQLFORM that can help a lot with uploaded files, but in my case I don't have an html form but a REST api, and the uploaded file should be unzipped (a step more then simply saving it and inserting the filename in the model). Can I rely on some web2py "magics", or should I implement everything by myself? Thanks a lot, and congratulations for this framework. Giovanni
