title: Communication between Ruby on Rails 3 Web application and C++ Desktop application
body: <p>According to my requirement I need to provide a communication between a Desktop application developed on C++(QT Framework) and Web application developing on Rails 3.</p>
  
  <p>The requirement is, <strong>User can able to upload/download files from Desktop application to Rails application. These files I need to save in live database.</strong></p>
  
  <p>For this requirement, I'm planning to develop an API(Possibly Web Service). First of all is it possible to complete this requirement through Web Services using SOAP/WSDL/REST.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know the different ways to achieve this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,<br>
