Merry Christmas everyone!
I've built and uploaded a developer preview of the app which can upload and download resource forks from the online database.
Mac OS 8 and 9 (classic): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5622341/ResourceForks/1.0.0dev/Resou...
OS X (PPC): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5622341/ResourceForks/1.0.0dev/Resou...

The interface is a bit rough, but I'm hoping that you will find this app useful/interesting and test it for me and provide feedback so I can further develop and improve it.

To upload a file:
- 'Load ResourceFork...' and select a file with a resource fork.
- 'POST Data' uploads the file to the database

To check which files are uploaded:
'Refresh Online' will list the files under the 'Online' folder

To download a file:
'Download...' will retrieve the resource fork in memory, but won't save to disk
'Recreate ResourceFork...' will save to disk

Enjoy and have a good holiday!

Update:
I've updated the rails code and the app to convert PICT resources into pngs for display in the browser.
eg. http://resourceforks.herokuapp.com/resources/6809 from stuntcopter

I'd like to get snd resources working as well, but I'm not sure....
