The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

unexpected end of file Error after downloading gzip file

Asked by GertoWS in Ruby Scripting Language, Storage Technology, RubyOnRails

Tags:

I'm trying to download and unpack a  gzipped file through open-uri and zlib with the code attached (the file mentioned below is just a random example).
About 1 time out of 4 when I load this page it works perfectly and I get the expected result
About 3 times out of 4when I load this  I get the following error:

 Zlib::GzipFile::Error in UpdatesController#update

unexpected end of file

RAILS_ROOT: C:/InstantRails/rails_apps/reviews
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

app/controllers/updates_controller.rb:8:in `read'
app/controllers/updates_controller.rb:8:in `update'
app/controllers/updates_controller.rb:7:in `open'
app/controllers/updates_controller.rb:7:in `update'
-e:4:in `load'
-e:4

The code attached is only the relevant beginning of the file.

Is there some code I need to add to make this work all the time?
