That should work fine, though it'll require you to write a bit more plumbing code for passing the image and file data around. Assuming the ruby/php webserver just takes care of this for you (which most of them do), it's probably not a bad approach.
Thrift will make communicating between the ruby/php web process and a C++ server very easy. -----Original Message----- From: Matias Hernandez Arellano [mailto:msd...@archlinux.cl] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 4:36 PM To: user@thrift.apache.org Subject: Re: use thrift to create an interface from ruby to C++ and use it as webservice Thanks for your response... So, i get another idea: create a php/ruby interface to use the GET http method to specify the image that need to upload .. (http://myserver.dom/upload.php?file=/dir/to/image/image.jpeg i know this is not secure but this will work i guess) and this interface communicate with the C++ application (a thrift server) to make the calculations and then send a response to the device ... Am i right?? thrift can do the communication between a web client and C++ so i think this won't be a problem (the idea).. Thanks a lot for your time.
