Getting content-disposition in the HTTP response headers.

Hi,

I am quite new to Ruby and Rails, although I have cracked most of my
puzzles by googling and trying I just can''t get this one to get going
for me.

Here is my problem:

I am trying to cough up a nice text/csv file from my browser and would
like to set this:

  Content-type: text/csv
  Content-disposition: attachment; filename="the_file.csv"

in my HTTP response header, but so far I haven''t found any
''''tricks''''
to achieve the ''Content-disposition'' part.

Any help would be dearly appreciated.


Kind regards,
Hartog.

Re: Getting content-disposition in the HTTP response headers.

in

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :set_headers

  private
    def set_headers
      @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/csv"
      @headers["Content-disposition"] = ''attachment;
filename="the_file.csv"''
    end
end

very easy :)

Thank you!

Once you how, yes indeed.  :->



I do however think that render() (from: ApplicationController::Base)
should allow for a '':disposition'' option as well.

Where should I go for such a feature request?

Re: Getting content-disposition in the HTTP response headers.

I have a problem that may be resolved with this, if I understand it
correctly.  I have one controller/view that keeps rendering as text/
plain ... that''s how the headers come back from the server.  My
content type is set correctly in the header in my layout file.

Can I do something similar in my specific controller to force it to
render as text/html instead of text/plain?

Thanks

Zeff
