[EP-tech] Re: Exporting a .zip file

Answered my own question...

Set a local "initialise_fh" routine:

sub initialise_fh
{
	my( $plugin, $fh ) = @_;
	binmode("$fh:bytes");
}

EPrints 3.2.2 on Solaris

I'm writing an exporter to download the item as a .zip file (as in, a
file that can be used in a SWORD deposit.)

I can create the .zip file; I can send something called foo.zip back to
the user.... but the thing I get back is not readable as a .zip file!

Here is the code (with most of the integrity-checking & sanity-checking
taken out)

---------------- code -----------------

package EPrints::Plugin::Export::SWORD_Deposit_File;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS);

use EPrints::Plugin::Export::METS_Broker;
our @ISA = qw( EPrints::Plugin::Export::METS_Broker );

our $PREFIX = '';

sub new
{
      my ($class, %opts) = @_;

      my $self = $class->SUPER::new(%opts);

      $self->{name}    = "foo";
      $self->{accept}  = ['dataobj/eprint', 'list/eprint'];
      $self->{visible} = "all";

      $self->{xmlns}          = "foo";
      $self->{schemaLocation} = "foo2";
      $self->{suffix}         = ".zip";
      $self->{mimetype}       = 'application/zip';

      return $self;
} ## end sub new


sub output_dataobj
{
      my ($plugin, $dataobj) = @_;

      my $text;
      $text = <<EOX;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

EOX

      my $xml = $plugin->xml_dataobj($dataobj);
      $text .= EPrints::XML::to_string($xml);

      # Use Archive::Zip to create the zip file
      my $archive = Archive::Zip->new();

      # Add the manifest as mets.xml

      # for some reason, I can't get Archive::Zip to add a file with
      # unicode characters, so this is a nasty hack, sorry
      my $tmpdir = EPrints::TempDir->new(UNLINK => 0);
      my $tmpfile = "${tmpdir}/mets.xml";
warn "tempfile: $tmpfile\n";

      # write out the xml file
      my $FH;
      open($FH, ">:utf8", "$tmpfile");
      print $FH $text;
      close($FH);
      $archive->addFile($tmpfile, "mets.xml");

      # end of fudge

      # Each 'Document' is represented by a directory
      # Each 'Document' many have a number of files
      foreach my $doc ($dataobj->get_all_documents)
      {

          # In the zip file, we use file paths rather than URLs, however
          # this routine is very similar to the methodology in
          # EPrints::Plugin::Export::METS_Broker::_make_fileSec

          # the docpath is the path to the document on the disk,
          # formatted:
          # /<EprintsRoot>/archive/<archiveID>/documents/<somepath>/<doc_id>
          my $docroot = $doc->local_path;
          $docroot =~ /\/(\d+)$/;
          my $doc_id = $doc->get_id;

          $archive->addTree($docroot, $doc_id);
       } ## end foreach my $doc ($dataobj->get_all_documents...)


my @M = $archive->memberNames();
warn "Archive: @M\n";
      # as of Perl 5.8.0, we can open a filehandle to variables
      my $buffer = "";
      open(my $fh, ">:bytes", \$buffer) || warn "Can't open a buffer in
memory\n";

      unless ($archive->writeToFileHandle($fh) == AZ_OK)
      {
          warn "failed to write archive into scalar\n";
      }
      close $fh;
warn "Written archive into scalar\n";
warn "size:". length($buffer)."\n";
$archive->writeToFileNamed("${tmpdir}/deposit.zip");

     return $buffer;
} ## end sub output_dataobj

---------------- code -----------------

As you can see, I've got some debugging going on

tempfile: /var/tmp/n2grhkaewB/mets.xml
Archive: mets.xml 474/ 474/2012-09-06767_121010093659.zip
Written archive into scalar
size:2638

and looking at the .zip file:
[broker@devel:Export]: unzip -l /var/tmp/n2grhkaewB/deposit.zip
Archive:  /var/tmp/n2grhkaewB/deposit.zip
    Length     Date   Time    Name
   --------    ----   ----    ----
       4206  11-20-12 09:29   mets.xml
          0  10-10-12 14:37   474/
       1178  10-10-12 14:37   474/2012-09-06767_121010093659.zip
   --------                   -------
       5384                   3 files

So.... I can obviously MAKE the file.... I just can't send it back to
the user sensibly.

Anyone done this?
If not - anyone any suggestions as to why it's not working?




Oh - and a SWORD transfer exporter is fine: it's essentially this code,
but then uses LWP::UserAgent to do a post:

    my $ua      = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    my $rxml    = $plugin->{session}->xml;
    my $returns = $rxml->create_element("returns");
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $target->{uri});

    # Tell SWORD to process the contents of the zip file as my format
    $req->header(
             'X-Packaging'         => 'http://opendepot.org/broker/1.0',
             'X-No-Op'             => 'false',
             'X-Verbose'           => 'false',
             'Content-Disposition' => 'filename=sword_deposit.zip',
             'filename'            => 'sword_deposit.zip',
                 );
    $req->content_type('application/zip');
    $req->content($buffer);
    my $res = $ua->request($req);
    if ($res->is_success)
    {
       my $content_dom = $rxml->parse_string($res->content);
       my $fragment = $content_dom->getElementsByTagName('entry')->item(0);
       $return->appendChild($fragment);
    } ## end if ($res->is_success)
