Rails: How to to download a file from a http and save it into database
- by Chris
Hi, i would like to create a Rails controller that download a serie of jpg files from the web and directly write them into database as binary
(I am not trying to do an upload form)
Any clue on the way to do that ?
Thank you
Edit :
Here is some code I already wrote using attachment-fu gem :
http = Net::HTTP.new('awebsite', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.start() { |http|
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new("image.jpg")
req.basic_auth login, password
response = http.request(req)
attachment = Attachment.new(:uploaded_data => response.body)
attachement.save
}
And I get an "undefined method `content_type' for #" error
