Hi,
I''m having trouble getting send_file to work. I''m building a
relatively
small csv file, and trying to let the user download it.
My action to do the download looks like this:
def send_the_file
@temp_download_file_path = session[:temp_file_path]
send_file @temp_download_file_path,
:x_sendfile => true,
:type => ''text/csv'',
:filename => "contacts.csv"
end
No errors are generated. Log says it is sending it. I wind up with an
empty ( 1
byte) file on the other end. I get the same results with and without
the "x_sendfile".
Any advice on where the file should reside on my server and how to set
the necessary permissions to allow send_file to get at it? What else
could I be doing wrong?
Thanks for any additional help you guys can provide.
jp

Have you tried sticking a breakpoint in there and see if you can open/read the file ?

Here''s some example code that covers nginx, apache, or plain old send_file: http://github.com/kete/kete/tree/master/app/controllers/private_files_controller.rb Works with 2.1, haven''t tried it with 2.2 RC1 yet. Hope it helps. Cheers, Walter On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 2:49 PM, Jeff Pritchard < rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Shameless bump.

Glad I could help. James Stradling was the guy that actually wrote that particular bit of code.
