similar to: send_file doesn't work with Apache?...

Hi, I''m developing a Rails application that (amongst other things) lets users download media files. These files range in size from a few kilobytes up to several gigabytes. All this development is taking place with Rails 1.0 on a Solaris host with Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails mode set to "development". I''m using the Rails send_file method to send each file with these

I had a problem with the send_file method. I saw that some of you had the same problem but with no real solution/explanation first problem the :stream options, and not ''streaming'' as I see in some doc or book. the second problem : when you set :stream to true, there''s a use of syswrite that should not be. I detailed this in response to a ticket opened by stuart

Hi, I''m using Rails 1.1 and the periodically_call_remote() helper to query the server for the progress of a long running action. I''m using the excellent new RJS partials to send a page.replace_html() to update the status information on the page--which works very well. When the action completes I''m also trying to send a redirect_to() by the same approach--which

I''m trying to build a simple proxy to Amazon S3 that would allow a client to request a url that gets mapped to a S3 Object by Rails and streamed back to the client. For S3 integration, I use the highly recommended gem AWS::S3 (http://amazon.rubyforge.org/), and to send a file, I simply use the send_file function. The concept works BUT the I can''t get the file to be sent as

Hi All, I have a Rails application that needs to be served from a Fedora Core 3 Linux server. The application runs well as a "plain" CGI application. My next step was to speed things up with FastCGI installed via "gem install fcgi". (version 0.8.6.1). That approach lead to this error in the fastcgi.crash.log: Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined method

I''m attempting to use send_file to send an image file from public/images. The file is world readable. I keep getting the following error: A ActionController::MissingFile occurred in account#current_logo: Cannot read file public/images/logo.png /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/streaming.rb:55:in `send_file'' I''ve tried supplying

Or perhaps I am stumbling in newbie fashion (tho I have active_merchant and a store site basically up and running in development mode - still I don''t feel I always understand what is going on.) So, when I have send_file(filename, :type => ''application/x-zip'') redirect :action => index the send_file seems to hang, rather than complete. I''m deducing

Hello, I''m working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user. After doing some quick tests with send_file I noticed that send_file does not block until the user has downloaded the full file, but proceeds with the

Hello guys, I am having the option to download certain folders on my app in zip format. So every time a user requests one I''m doing a system call to zip the folder (ex: system(''cd ''+path+'' && zip ...) and then the send_file method to send it. What happens is that I''m keeping track of disk space so I need to delete the zip immediately. I was

I''m trying to add a link to download a zip file. I created a controller method that makes the call to send_file: def getzip send_file ''file.zip'' end When I navigate to this link I get a MissingFile exception. The file definitely exists (and U triple-checked paths and spelling) and the permissions are 644. I tried moving it to the /public folder and updating the

In the send file Code shown below I have made use of the address of one of the files directly so when I click the link of any file it downloads it. THE CODE

Looking at the code for ActionController#send_file I see that it is using ruby to send the file contents. Linux supports a sendfile() OS call. The implementation of Linux sendfile() is extremely fast and very CPU efficient, far faster than what can be done in user space. Does Windows support a sendfile() equivalent call? I haven''t been working with ruby long enough to know how it handles

I have an application which uses send_file to send a ZIP file to the client. This works nicely when it''s run on our development OS-X boxes, using mongrel from script/server, but on our production server, using mongrel behind Apache 2.2. with mod_proxy_balancer, the client gets 1 byte delivered :-( If I use wget -S to the URL in order to see the full headers I see this on
