I have an action with the following view, which seems to be crashing WEBrick. <%= render_component :controller => ''picture'', :action => ''show'', :id => 1 %> <img src="/images/artgallery.jpg" /> <%= render_component :controller => ''picture'', :action => ''show'', :id => 2 %> The two components (code below) result in image tags that call an action that returns the image data. If I remove the <img src="/images/artgallery.jpg" /> tag, this does not occur. Nor does it occur if both components are given the same id argument (display the same image). Often the page will load the first time, but upon refresh the two images from the component calls will not display and WEBrick will stop responding. The ''show'' action: def show @picture_id = params[:id] render :layout => false end The ''show'' view: <img src="<%= url_for(:controller => ''picture'', :action => ''picture'', :id => @picture_id) %>" /> The ''picture'' action: def picture picture = Picture.find(params[:id]) send_data(picture.data, :filename => picture.id, :type => "image/jpeg", :disposition => "inline") end The ''data'' method in the Picture class def data Magick::Image.read(get_root + "/" + get_filename).first.to_blob end Does anyone have a clue as to why this may be occuring? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
