revZip Question

reelstuff · Post by **reelstuff** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:08 pm

I was looking at a solution to a problem I am working on and I was thinking that revZip might do it, but I wonder if the library is capable of this type of functionality.

here is the overview,

I want to zip a file and add a password to the archive.

then I would use revZipOpenArchive and begin to process that data, I am wondering if there is a way to allow the revZipOpenArchive to open the password protected zip file, I am thinking yes, as long as revZipOpenArchive knows where the password is stored and how to submit it before opening the archive.

also I am wondering if there is a limit to the amount of data that revZipExtractItemToVariable can render or process,

any thoughts or suggestions would be great, thanks

Tim

Hi reelstuff,

there is no hint in the docs that "revzip" supports password protected archieves!

And I guess the limit for extracting to a variable is available RAM (as always)

Best

Thanks, that is what I expected, will have to put my thinking cap on.
