Hi, Apologises if this is a little OT but I am can't seem to find anything relevant elsewhere. I am currently using MP1, 1.29 on Linux.
I need to create a archive file and send it back to the user. The files within the archive will be jpegs so compression isn't needed, but I need the archive so they can download all the files in one hit. The end-users are all Win32 and will use winzip to open the archive so tar files might be...a bit complex for them to handle. I have 2 problems to overcome. The most obvious (and embarressing) is that I don't know how to send a request a file. I have seen examples of sending a filehandle ($r->send($fh)) but I am not sure that this is appropriate. The other problem is how to create the archive and with what. I have installed Apache::GzipChain but it seems unduly elaborate. Any suggestions here would be great. If I you do need to send a file as a filehandle, what are the other headers that need to be set, content_length, encoding and type and would the archiving process need to be done as a pipe? Sorry if I'm rambling here but I am don't know where to begin. Thanx.
