I'm working on a web site using Forge Design Automation for AutoCAD, and I'd like to have a .zip file returned. Does the .zip file have to go back to a URL (folder) located in site, or can it be downloaded directly to my view (MVC) through the controller? And, if it can come back to the view, how do provide arguments to my workitem?
Thank you.
The Design Automation will want to PUT/POST the resulting zip file somewhere. So you must supply a resource (URL) that can be operated on by one of those verbs.
Your website then can offer up the same resource to download to your clients. Clients cannot download directly from Design Automation as there's no HTTP resource that they could GET.
We can take advantage of the Forge OSS signed resource with read/write permission, so that Design Automation API will put the file to the Forge OSS bucket, and we can use the sample link to download the file. Please check my sample here. Although it's a Revit sample, the signed resource part can be applied to Design Automation API for AutoCAD, too.

I am trying and failing to download a single file from a "open for public" dropbox folder which a 3rd party created for others to use. I am trying to use this within my Ruby On Rails Application (file is changing but folder stays the same all the time).
I want to:
List all files in that public folder
Make sure that there is only this one file
... and this file has the appropriate filename (ending in .xlsx in my case -> an Excel file)
Download the file (e.g. using RestClient gem)
Save as an attachment to a new database record (Record is existing already and is used inside the app)
Thanks for any hints on how to proceed here! I Than plan to update the file with a cron-job daily.
Its kind of an API to the public :-)
Thought there must be a simple gem to interact with dropbox folders but couldnt't find any.
I used Rest-Client to open the dropbox folder and Nokogiri to parse the content but cant work through the glibberish produced. I gave up after an hour of work and decided to ask here!
Dropbox does offer a public Dropbox API, but it doesn't offer an official SDK for Ruby in particular, but you can either use the Dropbox API HTTPS endpoints directly, or via a third party library if there is one that works for your use case.
Exactly how you would accomplish this would depend on the specifics of the scenario so you may want to read through some guides first to get started, e.g.: Getting Started and File Access.
For instance, depending on how you have access to the content (e.g., directly via a folder in a connected account, or via a shared link, etc.) some of the following endpoints may be useful:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_file
The Dropbox API v2 Explorer can also be a useful tool for trying out Dropbox API calls.
My android app needs to access (read only) .txt file located on OneDrive. Which is the simplest way to achieve that? All tutorial I read are a bit complicated for me (I'm new in this android stuff).
The simplest way is to share the file read only using “anyone anonymous with the link”. So basically no log in is required to access the file, just the link generated by onedrive. Using that link you should be able to access the file directly like any http web link.

I am developing a WebExtension for Firefox. In order to post my extension, it must not have any remote scripts in it.
In order to display some tweets in my extension's menu, I have used the Twitter-Post-Fetcher library, but I can't post my extension with it because the library uses remote scripts from twitter.com.
I prefer not to use the Twitter API if possible, because the requests would come from the extension's users.
No remote scripts means that if you are going execute code in the context of your extension, then the code must be included in the extension package, not hosted on some server. While there may be other ways to accomplish this (e.g. running the code in the page context, which may be acceptable, but may not), the default way to accomplish this is to: download the code that you are executing and use a copy that you include in the extension package.
This is the case for all code, including libraries such as jQuery. It is highly recommended that the code be an exact byte-by-byte copy of code that can be downloaded from a public repository, and that you indicate within your extension package the exact URL you used to obtain the code.
The reason for this is security. If downloading code at runtime was permitted, then that code could be trivially changed at any time. It would mean that having the add-on reviewed by Mozilla would be of no benefit.
Please see the Review Policies page on MDN, and all the pages linked from there, for more details.
I am investigating if the functionality of some CGI scripts written in Perl that we run on a web server can be migrated to our Sharepoint 2007 server (MOSS).
The CGI scripts are not complicated. Basically they display and process contents of files that resides in the network file system.
For instance one script just displays the contents of small text files that are being added to a specific folder.
These files are part of a production process and cannot be moved into a Sharepoint document archive.
The CGI scripts are being used to give an overview on what is "new in the queue" for this production process.
When the production process has finished, it removes the files from the folder. But new files may arrive to the folder at any time.
I have done some investigations and found that using a "Data View" web part would give possibilities of displaying the data in a good way.
The files need to be transformed from text to XML format, before some xslt could make it look good in a Data View WP. I guess that could be done by some kind of server-side script?
But how and where do I add such a script to Sharepoint?
Would it be a good idea implementing this as an RSS feed instead? But an RSS feed would also require a server-side script, wouldn't it?
I am new to Sharepoint development and would appreciate any useful advice.
Why not just write a Custom WebPart to read the content of those text files and display them. This way you wont be making changes to those text files.
Note : The link to custom Web Part is my blog. There are tonnes of other articles in the net :)
i have to make one .net framework 2.0 web services which took some parameters like source server name destination server name file name then this services will move the file from source to destination.
one solution i found is using asp.net i make two pages one for file download and one for file upload and this pages are available at each server.
web services will send http request to the server and server will send file or save file on server.
but in this i have to place this two pages on all server.
Is ther any way in which i can read and write and create file from the remote server using web services in .net framework 2.0?
if any boduy know about it please help me.
sorry for spelling mistakes and grametical errors.
thanks
If the account your web service runs under has sufficient permissions you could use paths like this:
\\servername\c$\somepath\somefile
Another solution would be to use UNC shares but you won't be able to read and write to arbitrary paths.
