[rabbitmq-discuss] Secure file transfer

[Dimitar Bakardzhiev]

Hi Ben,

We have to send file not stream them, because we will transfer documents 
no video.
So I am not interested in the Stream class.

Regarding using SSL  -I looked atthe SSL guide 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.html#ssl but since we'll encrypt I'd 
prefer to encrypt the document.

Yes, we will implement chunking but there will be no transactions. The 
use case is as such :
1)The Producer sends a file to The Server.
2) The server stores the file somewhere...
3) The Consumer checks if there any new files for him and if there are 
gets it.

So I need a way to :
1) restart both the sending and the receiving
2) store the files somewhere on the server.

Reading the 0.8 spec it seems to me that RabbitMQ must provide both.

Am I wrong?


Thanks,
Dimitar
