I've found good examples of NET::HTTP for downloading an image file, and I've found good examples of creating a temp file. But I don't see how I can use these libraries together. I.e., how would the creation of the temp file be worked into this code for downloading a binary file?
require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start("somedomain.net/") do |http|
resp = http.get("/flv/sample/sample.flv")
open("sample.flv", "wb") do |file|
file.write(resp.body)
end
end
puts "Done."
There are more api-friendly libraries than Net::HTTP
, for example httparty:
require "httparty"
url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/DahliaDahlstarSunsetPink.jpg/250px-DahliaDahlstarSunsetPink.jpg"
File.open("/tmp/my_file.jpg", "wb") do |f|
f.write HTTParty.get(url).body
end
