That's was part of the question in the email.. is really more stress for 
an asterisk server put a ruby proxy or webserver in busy server?

first scenario that come to my mind.. you have a manager appl allowing 
ppl to to monitor your asterisk server (i already have that 
http://www.cripiland.com/screenshots/manager3.jpg) a suppervisor wants 
to hear the recorders for the phones...or hear his voicemail in his viewver!

for everything that u say u have to install another server in the 
aterisk ftp server, webserver.. how much stress this bring to a busy 
asterisk compared with just an action to uuencode the file and send it?

the response could be something like this

Response: Success
ActionID: <ID>
Message: File Follow

<FILE UUENCODE>

--END FILE--
