Hi,
I’m trying to make a rails-application that checks out and downloads a
file in a single click.
The user should click on a file, and the application should download
the file, update the database and display some results for instance
“The file is checked out and downloaded”.
I realize this is two responses to a single request, and simply won’t
work.
I’ve seen pages like versiontracker that redirects to a new page that
pushes a file download from a javascript in the header. (?) Can
something like this be done in a more “rails friendly way”?
I’m grateful for any tips!
