I have a text file located on AWS s3 which is written in Arabic. I've been told that the text is set to be displayed right-to-left. When I download that file at the terminal and open it in Emacs, the text is indeed displayed right-to-left and the first line looks like this:
But when I use Node.js to download that file from s3 and try to view the first line, it's not the same:
My code is below. I would have assumed that the toString() method is the culprit but having played around with toLocaleString() and various language arguments I couldn't make them consistent. I see that s3 has ContentLanguage and ContentEncoding fields which are both undefined for this object. What am I doing wrong?
const ob = await s3.getObject({
Bucket, Key
}).promise(),
text = ob.Body.toString('utf-8'),
data = text.split('\n').filter(e => e.match(/\S/));
console.info(JSON.stringify(data.slice(0, 2), null, 5));
As a workaround, I do this:
data = text.split('\n').filter(e => e.match(/\S/))
.map(line => [`ar`, `he`].includes(lng) ?
line.split("").reverse().join("") : // <-- arabic & hebrew right-to-left rtl
line)
But I'm not clear if that's best.

According to the Discord.NET documentation page for the EmbedBuilder class, the syntax (converted to VB) to add a local image to an EmbedBuilder object should look something like this:
Dim fileName = "image.png"
Dim embed = New EmbedBuilder() With {
.ImageUrl = $"attachment://{fileName}"
}.Build()
I'm trying to use something like this to add a dynamically created image to the EmbedBuilder, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. Here's basically what I've got:
Dim TweetBuilder As New Discord.EmbedBuilder
Dim DynamicImagePath As String = CreateDynamicImage()
Dim AttachURI As String = $"attachment:///" & DynamicImagePath.Replace("\", "/").Replace(" ", "%20")
With Builder
.Description = "SAMPLE DESCRIPTION"
.ImageUrl = AttachURI
End With
MyClient.GetGuild(ServerID).GetTextChannel(PostChannelID).SendMessageAsync("THIS IS A TEST", False, Builder.Build)
My CreateDynamicImage method returns the full path to the locally created image (e.g., C:\Folder\Another Folder\image.png). I've done a fair amount of "fighting"/testing with this to get past the Url must be a well-formed URI exception I was initially getting because of the [SPACE] in the path.
MyClient is a Discord.WebSocket.SocketClient object set elsewhere.
The SendMessageAsync method does send the Embed to Discord on the correct channel, but without the embedded image.
If I instead send the image using the SendFileAsync method (like so):
MyClient.GetGuild(ServerID).GetTextChannel(PostChannelID).SendFileAsync(DynamicImagePath, "THIS IS A TEST", False, Builder.Build)
the image is sent, but as a part of the message, rather than included as a part of the Embed (this is expected behavior - I only bring it up b/c it was a part of my testing to ensure that there wasn't a problem with actually sending the image to Discord).
I've tried using the file:/// scheme instead of the attachment:/// scheme, but that results in the entire post never making it to Discord at all.
Additionally, I've tried setting the ImageUrl property to a Web resource (e.g., https://www.somesite.com/someimage.png) and the Embed looks exactly as expected with the image and everything when it successfully posts to Discord.
So, I'm just wondering at this point if I'm just missing something, or if I'm just doing it completely wrong?
I cross-posted this to issue #1609 in the Discord.Net GitHub project to get a better idea of what options are available for this and received a good explanation of the issue:
The Embed (and EmbedImage) objects don't do anything with files. They simply pass the URI as configured straight into Discord. Discord then expects a URI in the form attachment://filename.ext if you want to refer to an attached image.
What you need to do is use SendFileAsync with the embed. You have two options here:
Use SendFileAsync with the Stream stream, string filename overload. I think this makes it clear what you need to do: you provide a file stream (via File.OpenRead or similar) and a filename. The provided filename does not have to match any file on disk. > So, for example:
var embed = new EmbedBuilder()
.WithImageUrl("attachment://myimage.png")
.Build();
await channel.SendFileAsync(stream, "myimage.png", embed: embed);
Alternatively, you can use SendFileAsync with the string filePath overload. Internally, this gets a stream of the file at the path, and sets filename (as sent to Discord) to the last part of the path. So it's equivalent to:
using var stream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
var filename = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
await channel.SendFileAsync(stream, filename);
From here, you can see that if you want to use the string filePath overload, you need to set embed image URI to something like $"attachment://{Path.GetFileName(filePath)}", because the attachment filename must match the one sent to Discord.
I almost had it with my code above, but I misunderstood the intention and usage of the method and property. I guess I thought the .ImageUrl property somehow "automatically" initiated a Stream in the background. Additionally, I missed one very important piece:
As it's an async method, you must await (or whatever the VB.NET equivalent is) on SendFileAsync.
So, after making my calling method into an async method, my code now looks like this:
Private Async Sub TestMessageToDiscord()
Dim Builder As New Discord.EmbedBuilder
Dim AttachmentPath As String = CreateDynamicImage() '<-- Returns the full, local path to the created file
With Builder
.Description = "SAMPLE DESCRIPTION"
.ImageUrl = $"attachment://{IO.Path.GetFileName(AttachmentPath)}"
End With
Using AttachmentStream As IO.Stream = IO.File.OpenRead(AttachmentPath)
Await MyClient.GetGuild(ServerID).GetTextChannel(PostChannelID).SendFileAsync(AttachmentStream, IO.Path.GetFileName(AttachmentPath), "THIS IS A TEST", False, Builder.Build)
End Using
End Sub
Now, everything works exactly as expected and I didn't have to resort to uploading the image to a hosting site and using the new URL (I actually had that working before I got the response on GitHub. I'm sure that code won't go to waste).
EDIT
Okay, so I still ended up going back to my separately hosted image option for one reason: I have a separate event method that modifies the original Embed object during which I want to remove the image and replace the text. However, when that event fired, while the text was replaced, the image was "moved" to the body of the Discord message. While I may have been able to figure out how to get rid of the image entirely, I decided to "drop back and punt" since I had already worked out the hosted image solution.
I've tried everyting I could, but I got stuck at the same point at where you are now.
My guesses are that Discord doesn't like the embedded images from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments, and only accepts the new files from https://media.discordapp.net. I might be wrong though, this is the way it worked for me.
I believe it's only a visual glitch, as I found if you send a link for an image from cdn.discordapp.com/attchments in your regular Discord client, it bugs out and shows an empty embed for some reason.
That would make sense since the default link used in an embedded image actually starts with https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/...
You could solve this issue by using https://media.discordapp.net, but it seems like Discord.net is configured to use the old domain.
I am trying to upload a PDF to FastAPI. After turning the PDF into a base64-blob and storing it in a txt-file, I POST this file to FastAPI using Postman.
This is my server-side code:
from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile
import base64
app = FastAPI()
#app.post("/uploadfile/")
async def create_upload_file(file: UploadFile = File(...)):
contents = await file.read()
blob = base64.b64decode(contents)
pdf = open('result.pdf','wb')
pdf.write(blob)
pdf.close()
return {"filename": file.filename}
This procedure works fine for a single-page PDF document of size 279KB (blob-size: 372KB), but it doesn't for a multi-page document of size 1.8MB (blob-size: 2.4MB).
When I try, I get the following WARNING and a 400 bad request response (along with the reseponse "detail": "There was an error parsing the body"):
"Did not find boundary character 55 at index 2"
I'm sure there must be an explanation for this behavior? Maybe it has something to do with async?
This is most likely an issue with saving the file using open().
For large files pdf.close() will execute before pdf.write() has finished saving all the contents of the file.
In order to ensure the whole file being written before it is closed, use with such as this:
with open('failed.pdf', 'wb') as outfile:
outfile.write(blob)
Using the with you will not need to close() after writing. with should also be considered best practice over saving the file into a local variable.
I am new to S3 and need to use it for image storage. I found a half dozen versions of an s2wrapper for cf but it appears that the only one set of for v4 is one modified by Leigh
https://gist.github.com/Leigh-/26993ed79c956c9309a9dfe40f1fce29
Dropped in the com directory and created a "test" page that contains the following code:
s3 = createObject('component','com.S3Wrapper').init(application.s3.AccessKeyId,application.s3.SecretAccessKey);
but got the following error :
So I changed the line 37 from
variables.Sv4Util = createObject('component', 'Sv4').init(arguments.S3AccessKey, arguments.S3SecretAccessKey);
to
variables.Sv4Util = createObject('component', 'Sv4Util').init(arguments.S3AccessKey, arguments.S3SecretAccessKey);
Now I am getting:
I feel like going through Leigh code and start changing things is a bad idea since I have lurked here for year an know Leigh's code is solid.
Does any know if there are any examples on how to use this anywhere? If not what I am doing wrong. If it makes a difference I am using Lucee 5 and not Adobe's CF engine.
UPDATE :
I followed Leigh's directions and the error is now gone. I am addedsome more code to my test page which now looks like this :
<cfscript>
s3 = createObject('component','com.S3v4').init(application.s3.AccessKeyId,application.s3.SecretAccessKey);
bucket = "imgbkt.domain.com";
obj = "fake.ping";
region = "s3-us-west-1"
test = s3.getObject(bucket,obj,region);
writeDump(test);
test2 = s3.getObjectLink(bucket,obj,region);
writeDump(test2);
writeDump(s3);
</cfscript>
Regardless of what I put in for bucket, obj or region I get :
JIC I did go to AWS and get new keys:
Leigh if you are still around or anyone how has used one of the s3Wrappers any suggestions or guidance?
UPDATE #2:
Even after Alex's help I am not able to get this to work. The Link I receive from getObjectLink is not valid and getObject never does download an object. I thought I would try the putObject method
test3 = s3.putObject(bucketName=bucket,regionName=region,keyName="favicon.ico");
writeDump(test3);
to see if there is any additional information, I received this :
I did find this article https://shlomoswidler.com/2009/08/amazon-s3-gotcha-using-virtual-host.html but it is pretty old and since S3 specifically suggests using dots in bucketnames I don't that it is relevant any longer. There is obviously something I am doing wrong but I have spent hours trying to resolve this and I can't seem to figure out what it might be.
I will give you a rundown of what the code does:
getObjectLink returns a HTTP URL for the file fake.ping that is found looking in the bucket imgbkt.domain.com of region s3-us-west-1. This link is temporary and expires after 60 seconds by default.
getObject invokes getObjectLink and immediately requests the URL using HTTP GET. The response is then saved to the directory of the S3v4.cfc with the filename fake.ping by default. Finally the function returns the full path of the downloaded file: E:\wwwDevRoot\taa\fake.ping
To save the file in a different location, you would invoke:
downloadPath = 'E:\';
test = s3.getObject(bucket,obj,region,downloadPath);
writeDump(test);
The HTTP request is synchronous, meaning the file will be downloaded completely when the functions returns the filepath.
If you want to access the actual content of the file, you can do this:
test = s3.getObject(bucket,obj,region);
contentAsString = fileRead(test); // returns the file content as string
// or
contentAsBinary = fileReadBinary(test); // returns the content as binary (byte array)
writeDump(contentAsString);
writeDump(contentAsBinary);
(You might want to stream the content if the file is large since fileRead/fileReadBinary reads the whole file into buffer. Use fileOpen to stream the content.
Does that help you?
I'm using the Google Drive API where I can gain access to 2 pieces of data that I need to display a jpg file oin my program. WebViewLink is the "large" size image while thumbnailLink is the "thumb" smaller size of the same image.
I'm having an issue with downloading the WebViewLink that I do not have with the thumbnailLink. Part of my code calls either exif_imagetype($filename) or getimagesize($filename) so I can retrieve the type, height & width etc for the $filename. This is successful for the thumbnailView but not the WebViewLink...
code snippet...
$WebViewLink = "https://drive.google.com/a/treering.com/file/d/blablabla";
$type = exif_imagetype($WebViewLink);
--- results in the error
"PHP Warning: exif_imagetype(): stream does not support seeking..."
where as...
$thumbnailLink = "https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/blablabla";
$type = exif_imagetype($thumbnailLink);
--- successful
where $type = 2 // a .jpg file
Not sure what I need to do to gain a usable WebViewLink... maybe use the "export" function to copy to a file on my server that is accessible, then use that exported file for the functions that fail above?
Thanks for any help.
John
I think you are using the wrong property to get the image of the file.
WebViewLink
A link for opening the file in a relevant Google editor or viewer in a browser.
thumbnailLink
A short-lived link to the file's thumbnail, if available. Typically lasts on the order of hours.
You can try using the iconLink():
A static, unauthenticated link to the file's icon.
Sample image of thumbnailLink:
Sample image of a iconLink:
It will still show relevant image about the file.
Hope it helps!
So, i would like to put an mp3 file in a DB blob, and play it from there.
I can see that the video object supports a blob, but it appears it's a file blob?
var blobStream = Ti.Stream.createStream({ source: myBlob, mode: Ti.Stream.MODE_READ });
var newBuffer = Ti.createBuffer({ length: myBlob.length });
var bytes = blobStream.read(newBuffer);
Additionally, it supports a file or text metod:
text : StringREADONLY
UTF-8 string representation of the data in this blob.
file : Titanium.Filesystem.FileREADONLY
File object represented by this blob, or null if this blob is not associated with a file
Does this mean i can specify the blob as a string?
On iOS, you can use media property and set Media object to play, as either a File, a Blob, or a URL., but it is better a multiplatform property like url.
So the best answer is:
Read DB and get Blob
Write Blob to temporal file at FileSystem
Set File Path to url property of VideoPlayer
I hope my answer helps you :)
