I have several Azure Shared Access Signatures I need to access, list the blobs, and then export the contents. I am hoping I could just write a simple ruby script and run it on Mac.
Can someone share sample code? It's basically 'GET" to a URL with a signature, which I think from the command terminal I could use curl, but wasn't sure how to do it using Ruby to make it easier to loop through and maybe extend it later.
I'd be open to a bash script as well. Thanks.
A quick check on google returned https://github.com/johnnyhalife/waz-storage. Can you check this gem.

I'm creating a web application using flask that takes 3 input from the user: name, picture, grades.
I want to store these information temporary depending on the user's session.
and as a beginner I read that sessions are not for storing files, what other secure way you recommend me to use?
I would recommend to write the files to disk.
If this is really temporary, e.g. you have a two-step-sign-up-form, you could write the files to temporary files or into a temporary directory.
Please see the excellent documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html
Maybe this should not be this temporary? It sounds like a user picture is something more permanent.
Then I would recommend e.g. to create a directory for each user and store the files there.
This is done with standard Python io, e.g with the open function.
More info about reading and writing files also can be found in the official Python documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files
I'm attempting to write a simple Ruby/Nokogiri scraper to get event information from multiple pages and then output it to a CSV that is attached to an email sent out weekly.
I have completed the scraping components and the CSV component and it's working perfectly. However, I now realize that I need to know when new events are added, which means I need some sort of database. Ideally I would just store this locally.
I've dabbled a bit with using the ruby gem 'sequel', but the data does not seem to persist beyond the running of the program. Do I need to download some database software to work with 'sequel'? Also I'm not using the Rails framework, just Ruby.
Any and all guidance is deeply appreciated!
I'm guessing you did Sequel.sqlite, as in the first example in the Sequel README, which creates an in-memory SQLite database. To create a database in your filesystem instead of memory, just pass it a path, e.g.:
Sequel.sqlite("./my-database.db")
This is, of course, assuming that you have the sqlite3 gem installed. If the given file doesn't exist, it will be created.
This is covered in the Sequel docs.
I'm using Passwd::Keyring::Auto for Perl on Windows. I noticed that the keyring is not persistent.
Can I force it to be persistent on Windows?
http://search.cpan.org/~mekk/Passwd-Keyring-Auto-0.2703/lib/Passwd/Keyring/Auto.pm
Ex.
use Passwd::Keyring::Auto;
my $keyring = get_keyring(app=>"Test", group=>"Windows");
my $username = "someuser";
my $password = $keyring->set_password($username, $password, "mylostspace.com");
When my program ends, I'd like to get whatever passwords I had in the keyring like below:
$password = $keyring->get_password($username, "sometest.com");
However, the $keyring->is_persistent() always returns 0. I tried forcing the option PERSISTENT => 1 when I create the keyring, but that didn't work.
Thanks in advance
I simply haven't developed windows backend yet, as I do not own windows machine at the moment. Writing module like Passwd::Keyring::WindowsVault (or similar) should not be hard (especially considering one can consult python keyring library source for inspiration), but requires some programmer with Windows development environment. In case you are (or anybody else is) interested in writing one, I would be glad to help, but I am simply unable to test such a module or even to prepare binary distribution for CPAN.
Once such module exists, integrating it into Passwd::Keyring::Auto would be trivial
Pointers:
(what should Passwd::Keyring backend implement)
https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Passwd-Keyring-Auto/lib/Passwd/Keyring/Auto/KeyringAPI.pm
(APIs used by pythonic library)
https://bitbucket.org/kang/python-keyring-lib/src/8aadf61db38c70a5fe76fbe013df25fa62c03a8d/keyring/backends/Windows.py?at=default
(in perl it should be replaced with some XS as I do not know about anything like ctypes, module code structure would likely be similar to that of https://bitbucket.org/Mekk/perl-keyring-gnome/src )
And one more note: with some effort it should be possible to use Passwd::Keyring::PwSafe3 backend on Windows, to keep passwords persistent. You will still need to provide opening password for this storage (no open thanks to OS authorization) on every run but in case you have multiple passwords or want to manage them from GUI too it may make sense. You can try setting environment variable PASSWD_KEYRING_AUTO_PREFER to PwSafe3 to use this keyring (of course install the module beforehand).
I'm used to Python Fabric in the past and I'm trying to do something similar with Ruby.
Basically I have created a Rake script which will run as a particular user which has SSH keys setup for passwordless access to the boxes in question.
I've managed to use https://github.com/seattlerb/rake-remote_task in order to run a command remotely, and expected the "put" method to "just work". However it seems to be an Rsync wrapper which does not take advantage of the keyless authentication.
It also seems to expect the file to be generated by a template which is not what I want, I want to SCP an actual .tgz binary file.
Am I missing something in the Ruby/Rake ecosystem. I expected this to be easy, but I feel like I'm going to need to go back to searching for gems?
I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but I thought I'd check.
Background:
I have some legacy data in Access, need to get it into MySQL, which will be the DB server for a Ruby application that uses this legacy data.
Data has to be processed and transformed. Access and MySQL schemas are totally different. I want to write a rake task in Ruby to do the migration.
I'm planning to use the techniques outlined in this blog post: Using Ruby and ADO to Work with Access Databases. But I could use a different technique if it solves the problem.
I'm comfortable working on Unix-like computers, such as Macs. I avoid working in Windows because it fills me with deep existential horror.
Is there a practical way that I can write and run my rake task on my Mac and have it reach across the network to the grunting Mordor that is my Windows box and delicately pluck the data out like a team of commandos rescuing a group of hostages? Or do I have to just write this and run it on Windows?
Why don't you export it from MS-Access into Excel or CSV files and then import it into a separate MySQL database? Then you can rake the new one to your heart's content.
Mac ODBC drivers that open Access databases are available for about $30.00
http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_access.php is one. I just run access inside vmware on my mac and expore to csv/excel as CodeSlave mentioned.
ODBC might be handy in case you want to use the access database to do a more direct transfer.
Hope that helps.
I had a similar issue where I wanted to use ruby with sql server. The best solution I found was using jruby with the java jdbc drivers. I'm guessing this will work with access as well, but I don't know anything about access
