Hey Guys, u I am using mogilefs to store files on a storage cluster. And i want to offer a download link to users. Only when i run getPaths on mogileFS it returns something like:

http://10.0.0.23:7500/dev11/0/422/711/0494715033.fid

i can rename the .fid to the actual file extension, but how do i offer the original file for download to the user? Can i force the file somehow with php? (Without using readfile or anything, the files are there for bandwidth reasons).

thnx guys

How does that URL respond? If it is HTTP, than no problem, it will set the mime-type, although you have to set Content-Disposition... If it's not HTTP, than you have to make a wrapper which responds HTTP to the HTTP request.

You should first try: what does the link respond (headers) ?

If you have to modify the headers, than it must use some kind of proxy.

  • i think it returns HTTP... because it downloads the file with the correct mime-type. So how do i rewrite the filename? Without putting load on my PHP server> i've tried setting the headers like this: http://pastebin.com/0kPPJcXy – thecodeassassin Mar 25 '11 at 14:10

Here you are http://www.grid.net.ru/nginx/mogilefs.ru.html

How it works:

all requests with /storage/mogileKey are served from mogile storage with nginx webserver

all other request you can easily proxy to your apache listening :not80port (:88 for example)

while stoaring file to mogilefs give it a key with required extension: myimage.jpg ...

When your request will look like normal: /storage/myimaje.jpg and will served from /devN/path/to/mogile/file.fid
