Rails - Mar 2006 - send_file is behaving strange

Hi all,
        I am using send_file("/path/to/my/file")to send a file from
the
server to a client. The file is not empty but when displayed on the 
client, it is totally blank. In windows system, it''s working properly, 
the problem is only with a linux server

If the file is the right size, are you setting its mime type when you 
send it?

e.g.,

     send_file(User.photo_file_name_for(@params[:id]),
          {:disposition => ''inline'', :type =>
''image/jpeg''})
