Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract

Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract is a Rack application which serves files in ZIP archives.

$ gem install rack-archive-zip-extract

Or add this line to your application's Gemfile:

$ gem 'rack-archive-zip-extract', :require => 'rack/archive/zip/extract'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Write below in your config.ru:

require 'rack/archive/zip/extract'

run Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract.new('path/to/docroot')

'path/to/docroot' above should have some ZIP files like this:

$ tree path/to/docroot
some.zip
another.zip
andmore.zip

Then, run server:

$ rackup

Now you can see files in zip archives. For example, visit http://localhost:9292/some/inner-file.txt and then you can see the text in "inner-file.txt" file in "some.zip" archive file.

Note that Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract doesn't serve ZIP file itself.

By default, files with extension ".zip" is recognized as ZIP files. You can tell the app extensions by option argument:

run Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract.new('path/to/docroot', extensions: ['.epub', '.zip'])

By default, Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract uses Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES as a mime type table. You can add and/or update mime type settings by passing hash table to initializer:

run Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract.new('path/to/docroot', mime_types: {'.html' => 'application/xhtml+xml', '.apk => 'application/vnd.android.package-archive'})

In example above, Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract sends "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml" header for access to path with extension ".html" instead of "text/html" and "application/vnd.android.package-archive" for "*.apk" instead of default "application/octet-stream".

Buffer size for reading file in zip archive is set to {Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract::ExtractedFile::BUFFER_SIZE 8192} bytes by default.

You can change it by passing buffer_size named argument when initailizig the app:

run Rack::Archive::Zip::Extract.new('path/to/docroot', buffer_size: 1024 * 1024)
