save the file about down

[janko]

@derrickcope It doesn't currently have that functionality, because it was never needed in Shrine (the project it originated from), but I always thought it should have it. At the moment the file is saved into a temporary location, but it doesn't yet have a way to specify permanent user-defined location.

I'll try to implement this later today or tomorrow, but for now you can use this:

tempfile = Down.download("...")
tempfile.close
FileUtils.mv tempfile.path, "/path/to/destination"

That would be great! I managed to save it another way.

tempfile = Down.open(uri, rewindable: false)
File.open(filename, "wb") do |file|
file.write(tempfile.read)
tempfile.close
end 

The only problem is it saves it in memory and then outputs to the file. How would I stream it directly to the saved file?
thanks

@derrickcope IO.copy_stream is a wonderful method:

io = Down.open(uri, rewindable: false)
File.open(filename, "wb") do |file|
  IO.copy_stream(io, file)
  io.close
end 

or even shorter:

io = Down.open(uri, rewindable: false)
IO.copy_stream(io, filename)
io.close
