Hi Philip this url is a route to Pivotal web app... when I use "http://www.pivotaltracker.com/resource/download/579633"; in my browser, I get a corresponding file attachment downloaded... so, this is an url to Pivotal web app, which execute the action :download in the controller Resource send the file .... which open in my browser
so I cannot use this url as a file location url (with open-uri ) and I don't get the file location ... seems to be redirected to an amazon S3 location where the file is located.... ( yes, the response is You have been redirected blah blah) On 15 sep, 18:13, Philip Hallstrom <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sep 14, 2010, at 3:00 PM, Erwin wrote: > > > > > > > Thanks Philip, this is better .. it seems a little bit more > > complicated that I thought > > > I need to get a file that I download from this url.... this not the > > file url, but an html page to download the file > > attachment['url'] :: "http://www.pivotaltracker.com/resource/download/ > > 579633" > > > and then pass the encoded content of the downloaded file as data > > into the xml , so it'll become an attachment for another ticketing > > system.... > > > =>, the open(remote_file ).read doesn't give me the file, but the > > html... > > > so, I need to to : > > 1 - 'execute'http://www.pivotaltracker.com/resource/download/579633 > > to get and store the file locally > > I'm not understanding what this step means...
