Anthony,

Thanks for the details. That's essentially the same conclusions I came to,
so thanks for confirming.

S3 does support limited-use time-based tokens, so you can protect them
by having the user go through your site, ask S3 for a time-based token
and then direct the visitor to the URL with that token. You're not
going to get around the bandwidth issue though unless you use

Options for serving large downloads

2009-11-12T18:23:09Z

I have a client requirement to provide DVD images for download. They have a
product that ships on multiple DVDs and they want to make it available
online as an alternative to shipping physical discs.
So, the challenge I have is that these downloads are protected, so I need
them behind authentication. And then the obvious problem is bandwidth. I had

i'm game, sounds like a good idea.

I also like this idea. Not only can it be practice, but also
collaboration should foster knowledge sharing.

Practice & Work

2009-10-28T01:31:38Z

Hey guys,
If there is one thing that has become clear after going to the
conferences I have over the past month, it's that in our profession nobody
gets enough "practice". A musician needs to continually practice their
instrument, but rarely do we hear about people coding for the sake of
practice. We had Corey Haines come show us how to do a code kata, which is

Thanks for the responses everyone.

"attr_accessible :name" didnt work. I thought it would but it didnt.
So I basically hardcoded a work-around in the update action. Since
there is only one thumbnail per picture, after I update the picture I
do a find for its thumbnail and update it with the same information.

I'll second using Paperclip, if that's an option. Just keep in mind
that if you ever have any reasonable amount of traffic that uploads
files then trying to process images inline is probably not a good
idea.

created by the plugin maybe make sure your model/controller code isn't
taking precedent over the plugin edit functionality....just a thought. You
may need to declare the name attribute in your model???
