Cracking The Vault (part 2)

I probably should have gone to sleep a while ago, but the article caught my eye. I cannot find a handy .tar.gz or .zip file of source to download. Any pointers are appreciated.

Me too - I can't find the code anywhere.

Thats pretty shady, a nice .tar or .zip file would have been nice, is it that hard to do?

whups sorry, found it hidden in there..

This is a pretty nice bit of code you've got here. I was just wondering why you decided to write the files to a directory rather than just add them as BLOB's in MySQL? Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Cheers.

Arghh everyone's upgrading to IE 5.5 for the most part and it will not work on IE 5.5, yet anyways....

As soon as I have the time or if some one else has the time maybe we can throw some work around for it up here, maybe that is....

It's really nice works great.

I thought the same, then I thought maybe because of filesize, but then the dat file seems to work great eh.

Maybe less of a load on the database server and more on the web server for speed?

I don't know should I take another wild guess?

Have you tried to convert them to blob data in the database as opposed to a static .dat file in the data directory?

When you do let me know eh?

Gar

I didn't use BLOB because of the filesize - the easiest way to do it seemed to store the data as a file (it's also easier to fix in case things go wrong :)

Let me know if you try BLOB.

You can obtain the source code from the first part of this article

What was the problem you had in IE55 - maybe I can fix it in the next release...

I'm actually starting to convert the code to PostgrSQL. I still plan to have the database handle the binary files. There are file size issues, but I'm curious how well it will work. PostgreSQL doesn't handle large files as cleanly as MySQL, but it gets the job done.

I must admit that the .dat idea works very well. It also seems pretty fast, although I haven't tried it with large (>2Mb) yet. Cheers.

I made something like this for a game design company. If anyone would like to take a look at the code, I'd be happy to show : ).

In reviewing this sort of application with a client, they expressed an interest in having the data encrypted on the server. Has anyone in this group dealt with that?

Hi to all.
<br />
I have Explorer 5.5, when I try to download the document that I have uploaded, I get the current page and not the document.
<br />
Any idea about?

Thank you
