Sending a pdf from public folder in express - express

I am trying to serve a PDF by adding watermark to it. I am using the image-watermark package for it
let option ={'text' : 'hello','color' : 'rgb(154, 50, 46)'};
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=test.pdf');
fs.createReadStream(watermark.embedWatermark('/pdf/js_tut.pdf', option)).pipe(res);
I am confused at what i did wrong? I am getting a 500 error. did I put the path name wrong? I have a public folder inside which I have a pdf folder inside which i have js_tut.pdf

Looking at the source code for the function embedWatermark, it doesn't actually return anything. You can see that here.
There is not a single return statement anywhere there.
So essentially what you're doing is this:
fs.createReadStream(undefined).pipe(res)
Which is likely why you're getting 500.

Where the statusFiles should be saved?

As mentioned here, I tried to use Status Files with the below code:
install(StatusPages) {
statusFile(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, filePattern = "#.html")
}
and saved the file as below:
But after running it, I got the standard 404 error, which means the file are not seen, do I need to add some thing, or I'm saving them in wrong place?
It looks like statusFiles() does a resolveResource(path), so it is looking at: src/main/resources/ and in order to make it understand/see the statusFiles folder, which is lying inside the resources folder, the filePattern is required to be tuned little nit to reflect it, so the correct code is:
statusFile(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, filePattern = "statusFiles/#.html")

Apache is changing the contents of a file being served

This has been driving me crazy.
Somehow when ever apache serves the following file:
$().ready(function(){
hideDataSetSelection();
var selector = "select#interface";
alert($(selector + "").val());
});
function hideDataSetSelection(){
$("div#dataBtn").hide();
}
function showDataSetSelection(){
$("div#dataBtn").show();
}
abc
xyz
123
456
It actually outputs the following:
function hideDataSetSelection(){
$("div#dataBtn").hide();
}
function showDataSetSelection(){
$("div#dataBtn").show();
}
$().ready(function(){
hideDataSetSelection();
var selector = "select#interface";
alert($(selector + " option:selected").val());
al
Which actually has content from a 'previous' version of the file.
This seems to occur for files that end in js or json only. Depending on the contents of the file, the output will get scrambled. I can only imagine that Apache is caching the file incorrectly or something...
This is within a Virtualbox environment.
Any ideas what the cause of this issue might be?
My issue has been solved by turning off sendfile. It seems the same issue has been described here:

Using Leigh version of S3Wrapper.cfc Can't get past Init

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?

WinRT loading ResourceDictionary from string

I need to change ResourceDictionary values based a config that comes from the server.
The way I've gone about this is to have a resource file that I open and read the content into a string, do some replacements on it, then write the string back to a file in the temp folder.
What I need to do now is to load the file into the ResourceDictionary.Source which takes a URI.
If I take StorageFile.Path and use that for the URI, it doesn't work.
var resource = new ResourceDictionary
{
Source = new Uri( storageFile.Path )
};
This give me the error Value does not fall within the expected range..
I have tried
new Uri( "ms-appdata:///temp/" + storageFile.Name )
and that give me the error Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)).
I have tried using the local folder instead, which gives me the same errors.
How can I get this to work?
I'd try loading it using XamlReader.Load().

an error 3013 thrown when writing a file Adobe AIR

I'm trying to write/create a JSON file from a AIR app, I'm trying not so show a 'Save as' dialogue box.
Here's the code I'm using:
var fileDetails:Object = CreativeMakerJSX.getFileDetails();
var fileName:String = String(fileDetails.data.filename);
var path:String = String(fileDetails.data.path);
var f:File = File.userDirectory.resolvePath( path );
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(f, FileMode.WRITE );
stream.writeUTFBytes( jsonToExport );
stream.close();
The problem I'm having is that I get a 'Error 3013. File or directory in use'. The directory/path is gathered from a Creative Suite Extension I'm building, this path is the same as the FLA being developed in CS that the Extension is being used with.
So I'm not sure if the problem is that there are already files in the directory I'm writing the JSON file to?
Do I need to add a timer in order to close the stream after a slight delay, giving some time to writing the file?
Can you set up some trace() commands? I would need to know what the values of the String variables are, and the f.url.
Can you read from the file that you are trying to write to, or does nothing work?
Where is CreativeMakerJSX.getFileDetails() coming from? Is it giving you data about a file that is in use?
And from Googling around, this seems like it may be a bug. Try setting up a listener for when you are finished, if you have had the file open previously.
I re-wrote how the file was written, no longer running into this issue.
