I''ve got a bunch of images stored in a pgsql database as large
objects. Currently I use a PHP script to display the images, but I''d
like to do it in Rails. I followed the example of sending files/data
at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowtoUploadFiles but all
the images that get sent are corrupted, apparently. Do I need to do
something different because it''s a large object?
Here''s the snippet of code that should send the image:
def showimage
@thumb = Thumbnail.find_by_item_id_and_size(@params[''id''],
''med'')
send_data @thumb.file_id, :type => "image/jpeg", :filename =>
@thumb.item_id.to_s + "-" + @thumb.size + ".jpg",
:disposition =>
"inline"
end
file_id is the name of the field that holds the large object
