similar to: Making output_compression work with send_file

With Rails 1.1 the output_compression[1] plugin was broken. Once I upgraded to 1.1, I had to tweak it a bit to make it work. Mainly it''s removing the code dealing with component requests, as that''s part of rails now, and changing one function call. Get the modified output_compression.rb file from http://devblog.famundo.com/output_compression.rb and give it a try. It''s

Hi, I just posted a patch tot he rails trac for a bug we found where running symbolize_keys! on a HashWithIndifferentAccess will delete all items from the hash.

(or to_options! which just alias it) on a HashWithIndifferentAccess, or apply the path attached from the ticket at: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5076 I also posted a much longer

We recently wrote our API to be fully REST, and so user PUT for updates. The problem is, we need multipart requests, but there''s a bug in CGI, and it doesn''t work. The rails code as a fix for POST requests, but not for PUT requests. So we added PUT as well and it works great now. I posted this as a patch in trac (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5235) so you can get it if you

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

So this is the original code I used, and it worked send_file ''vendor/sprites/not-found.png'', {:filename => "sprite-not-found.png", :type => "image/png", :disposition => "inline"} Now I switched it to this (going to be adding imageMagick) send_data File.read(''vendor/sprites/not-found.png''), {:filename =>

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

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

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

I was working on deploying an app with switchtower, and I really dislike the way spawner is implemented. The way it will relaunch the dispatcher all the time just to let it die if the port is in use is too brute force for my taste.
