i want to temporary modify a zip file and send the changed file to the client.
right now i create a file stream and send it:
require 'zip'
zip_stream = Zip::OutputStream.write_buffer do |zip|
zip.put_next_entry 'new_folder/file'
zip.print "some text"
end
zip_stream.rewind
send_data zip_stream.read, type: 'application/zip', disposition: 'attachment', filename: 'thing.zip'
i dont get how i can open a existing zip in the filesystem and put additional file in it and send it without saving it do the disk.
can you give me a hint?
in the end i did it like this:
require 'zip'
zip_stream = Zip::OutputStream.write_buffer do |new_zip|
existing_zip = Zip::File.open('existing.zip')
existing_zip.entries.each do |e|
new_zip.put_next_entry(e.name)
new_zip.write e.get_input_stream.read
end
new_zip.put_next_entry 'new_file'
new_zip.print "text"
end
