I created a pass statically by typing command line in order to create pass.pkpass. I also use web service in MAMP. How to generate a pass dynamically ? and where is pass.pkpass stored ?
To generate the pass dynamically, you will need code that will:
Retrieve all the dynamic data that you want to put into the pass
Create a pass.json file containing the dynamic pass data and compute its SHA1 hash
Gather the pass assets (images, locale strings, etc.) and compute their SHA1 hash
Assemble the manifest file (list of files in the .pkpass bundle and their SHA1 hashes)
Sign the manifest file with your PassID Certificate and include the Apple WWDR cert
Zip all of the assets up into a .pkpass bundle
Serve the .pkpass bundle with the correct MIME type
Cleanup any temporary folders/files you use in the above process
You may also need code to:
Generate random tokens for the serialNumber and authenticationToken
Record the pass details in a database
As for where the .pkpass files go, this is entirely up to you. You can either store them or delete them once they have been served to the device. Since the code that you will need can recreate the .pkpass bundle, and since your web service will send a 304 response to a device that already has the latest version of the pass, there is little value in keeping these files on your server.
If you are using MAMP, then this PHP Library is a good place to start.

I am trying to load Tensorflow.js model via HTTP protocol. Tensorflow.js requires me to store 'model.json' and 'weights.bin' files in the same folder. But I can only call 'model.json' as a parameter. It refers to the binary file by itself. That is how it works as far as I know.
For now, in the local environment, I am loading the model from the localhost(Http://127.0.0.1:8080) and it works fine.
However, the actual application accepts HTTPS protocol only. So I have tried to store them with models and weights in the same buckets in S3 and called via Lambda but it seems like only 'model.json' is retrieved. I am thinking of using EC2 instances where the Python Flask server is running but it seems like the same that only model.json is retrieved, not binary files.
Is there any way that I can retrieve 'model.json' with referring to the weight file? Is there anyway to host file server remotely with HTTPS protocol?
TFJS downloads model JSON, parses it and uses whatever paths are specified in the JSON - you can edit that file and set any URL you want for weights.
Alternatively, you can also use lower-level methods to load weights manually (in case you want to have a custom loader, etc.), but leave that for future until you're more comfortable with TFJS.
I search how to write a file with angularjs, after get it in json. I have already the json file in my folder, but with onclick, users can manually update it with the new content and overwrite the same file. How to write it ? (i don't ask the get distant file part).
I need locastorage functions ? it's for android application, so which storage i must use ?
You can't write files with javascript. You would need to pass the data to PHP or nodejs (aka a server side language) that has access to your filesystem. Javascript is client facing, so it doesn't know anything about the filesystem on the server it is running.
This seems like something that should be easy to find, but I've tried every combination of search terms I could think of and all I could find were answers that were "close but no cigar". After spending over a half an hour looking, I finally decided to ask.
What I am trying to do, explicitly worded, is to ensure that the files my users upload to or download from my web pages are encrypted during the transfer. I am not satisfied with just throwing https:// onto the beginnings of the file's links because these files need to be password protected. In order to password protect them, of course, I have set the directory permissions such that the files inside cannot be accessed via URLs at all. I am using a PHP script to manage the uploads and downloads.
I have tried checking the php.net pages on topics like headers() and mcrypt_encrypt() and have come up empty-handed. The page on headers() appears to apply to HTTP only and doesn't tell me how to use an encrypted protocol for a file download (if that's the way one does it) and I can't use mcrypt_encrypt() relying on the assumption that mcrypt_decrypt() can just be run later to make the files usable because obviously mcrypt_decrypt() can't be run client side after a download (nor can mcrypt_encrypt() be run client-side before an upload), so I am left wondering what method I would use to ensure that the user's browsers will be able to encrypt and decrypt these files in a way that requires no action from the user - the same way everything else is encrypted and decrypted.
I'd like to assume that the fact that I am enforcing https on these web page URLs will automatically take care of it the way it takes care of the web page output. However, I do observe that files with separate file paths like images and CSS are not automatically encrypted, and that the code I'm using to trigger those file download boxes contains header information, implying that it's a separate transaction, and perhaps not encrypted.
I have really, really thought about this from a whole bunch of angles and I'm just not seeing the solution. Anyone want to help me?
Use HTTPS for secure (encrypted) delivery of data. Store the files in each user's folder as you're doing, and only allow access after authentication (over HTTPS).
The reason you're having a hard time finding another solution is because HTTPS is the solution.
If you want to store the files encrypted on the disk, you can encrypt them with a symmetric block (stream) cipher as they're uploaded and do the reverse as they're downloaded. You could use a secret key that's unique per user as the symmetric key.
i want to protect some files in a folder by requiring passwords for download
however list of users that are allowed to download are on a mysql table with their passwords in md5 format (which means i cannot generate a htpasswd file)
to make it harder i also need to allow some users to download some files and others to download other files without being able to move files (separating files in multiple folders)
so i what i need is some kind of auth api , when there is a request nginx askes a Script (lets say a php script) with parameters of username/password/ip/filename and depending on script's response allow or disallow the download
is this possible?
what i've done so far:
1.looking in the 3rd party modules list http://wiki.nginx.org/3rdPartyModules
where i found a module with PAM but my server is windows
2.googling lots of terms without any results
3.looking at the module development tutorials http://www.evanmiller.org/nginx-modules-guide.html
i'm not really good at C so a pre made module for windows that bounces the request to a script (without proxy-ing the download through it) is the best if not some pointers to how should i make a module that meets my requirements is appreciated .
You can use the http_auth_request module.
p.s. Do you actually know that nginx for windows is not production ready?
I have a ~2MB file that my Google AppEngine server must use (not serve) as part of a computation for a service request.
That is, a client makes a particular request, my GAE server must first get the data from this ~2MB file, do some computations using this data, then serve a small response back to the client.
Where best do I store this data so that it can be quickly read and used by the server in the computation?
If the following assumptions hold true
the file is not going to require updates outside of appengine code updates
that the file is read only
Then deploy the file with your code and read the file into memory during startup (ideally using warmup requests) and just operate on it from memory. If you code has to have file based semantics to access the data (read,seek, etc) then read the file contents and wrap it in StringIO.
You will need to assign the value read from the file to a module level variable, that way whenever you get a new request you can just get the files contents by importing the module and referencing the name. ie. mymodule.filecontents
