ruby on rails - Create a text file on client-side programatically -
We have a Ruby-on-Rail server-side deployment that allows users to auto-remove the pre-compiled Windows XP File
We need to dynamically generate a text file (depending on the user ID) and deploy it on the client machine somewhere where EXE can find it.
We have 2 options:
- Generate this text file on a Linux server and SOMEHOW? Embed it in Windows X. It looks far away
- Obtain the user to download the static EXE and get information about dynamic text stored on the client machine in any way (either an invisible download, cookies, VBSPIT or Javascript on the client side)
Note that we now have 2 separate download links (1 due to problems related to that user experience (i.e. ugly) Nemic has left for text information 1 and 1) the UX, download can be downloaded on the different paths etc.).
I'm not much of a web developer, but after spending a few minutes on Google, I think both problems are troublesome and unattractive.
Does anyone have a smart idea? Some ideas:
1) the same place (a self-extracting zip (Xi) to make the XII and text file on the server file.
2) After providing a key / pin code, the user downloads the exe when the application is run for the first time, If no text file is searched, then it asks for PIN, then the XI then calls a webservice and downloads the information to save the text file. E does. For example, it could be a guide.
