Every day that I spent researching on what I need to do I get more and more confused, I'll try my best to explain what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm working on an application that synchronizes data across devices. There are two ways to access your files, the client that runs on Mac OS, and there is also a Web application.
The client takes all of the files that you select and uploads them to a linux server. If a file contains a resource fork, the client will read the file/..namedfork/rsrc and save it somewhere.
Now, let's suppose that an user syncs a file called: file.webloc.
Then the user goes to another mac, and enters the web application.
Is there a way that I can generate a file that contains the resource fork so that the user can download the file without losing the resource fork information?
Regards and thanks

It's not clear at all what you're asking -- AppleDouble files don't have the data fork in them, for one thing.

Hello,

Users can access their files using a Web application(Java) that's running on a Linux server, is there a way that I can generate a valid AppleDouble format file using only the data fork and the string I read from the namedfork? I don't mind losing the Finder Metadata.
Note: The idea is that users that synced its files using the application, can later go to the web application from any Mac and download the file(a single file) with the resource forks already included.
Is this posible?
