I''m developing a site that will need to display images that will be
stored in a location outside the site. What would be the easiest way to do this?
The site will be running on a linux machine.
Thanks,
Will

Actually, the images in question need to be stored in the filesystem outside the site, but I''d rather not expose them to the web. The flow of operations I''d like to have is as follows: 1) User requests an image, sending the image id. Under the hood, it hits a controller method, so the request would be something like (http://mysite.com/images/getbinary/152). 2) My system picks up the id from the request and locates the image on disk 3) Some component of rails grabs the image from disk and pushes down to the client. For instance, in .NET I''d probably create an Image object, load it from the image on disk, then serialize it into the response stream. That way, the image would only be available to the user through the site.

Look at send_file()
send_file( ''/path/to/some/image_file.gif'',
:disposition => ''inline'',
:type => ''image/gif'',
:stream => false,
:filename => ''private_file.gif'' )
