I want to open a tar.gz archive and display the content as a folder structure and offer possibility to download and view the content. The archive should not be compressed to a folder but only to a buffer.
Helper: require 'tarruby' def testFu File.directory?(log_folder) or return "Log folder '#{log_folder}' doesn't exist." log_archive = File.expand_path(@log.log_archive,log_folder) # a hash which i probably can access from my view $result = Hash.new Tar.gzopen(log_archive, File::RDONLY, 0644, Tar::GNU | Tar::VERBOSE) do |tar| tar.each do if tar.reg? # regular file buf = tar.extract_buffer $result[tar.pathname] = buf end end end end
View: <div class="rightbox"> <h1><%= File.basename(@log.log_archive) %></h1> <testFu /> <% $result.each do |key, value| %> <li><%= key %></li> <!-- how to offer view / download options for the buffer ??? --
<% end %> </div>
Is my approach rails compliant? How can I add a download link (from the buffer) and offer possibilty to view the buffer on click in a popup window?
Best regards, Sebastian
