Client: Create file for reading

[jlee-r7]

something like this:

tree_id = client.tree_connect("\\\\hostname\\share")
client.read(tree_id, "file.txt")
# => "contents of file.txt"

needs to

• send a CreateRequest with appropriate values
• read the response, store the file_id therein
• send a GetInfo request for that file_id
• read the response, store the size
• send a ReadRequest for that many bytes
• return the value as a String

Is the tree_id valid on other clients or is it client specific? If it's client specific, wouldn't it make more sense for client.tree_connect to return a Tree object and have it have Tree.read as the client is implied by the returned tree.

[jlee-r7]

Oh, that's a good idea. Yes, tree IDs are client-specific and handles returned by Create will be tree-specific.

Current thinking looks like this:

tree = client.tree_connect("\\\\hostname\\share") # => #<Smb2::Tree ... >
file = tree.create("\\path\\to\\file.txt") # => #<Smb2::File ... >
file.read # => "contents of file.txt"
