Is there a way I can output the PDF on-the-fly to the browser rather than having a temporary PDF file? I just can''t have these files laying around since they contain sensitive

...Pdf::Writer image insertion. pdf.image "/path/to/images/logo.jpg" is firing "JPEG marker not found!" Originally created the RGB (8 bit) JPEG in photoshop. After the above, I''ve exported with an alternate tool using (OSX) preview. This tutorial http://www.artima.com/rubycs/articles/pdf_writer2.html says that CMYK or RGB encoding is needed - so that''s not the problem. Other than that requirement, are there others? Optionally I tried PNG, but this resulted in a nil.unpack error (''The error occured while evaluating nil.unpack'') I''...

Is there any way to request WEBrick to shutdown besides hitting CTRL-C at the console? I''m looking for, perhaps, a script/shutdown command, or perhaps a special URL that will request WEBrick to die.

Hi Railsers, How do you design your applications? Do you start coding HTML? Start with the controllers/models? Start in a program like photoshop/gimp/illustrator/inkscape? I start in inkscape, it''s a SVG editor. I sketch all the views of my application, and then I create the views that belong to one controller in RHTML. After that, I do the models/controller, and move on to the

Hello, I''m a total newbie, so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to port an application from java to ruby. In order to do that, I need to put the object containing all the business logic into something like application scope. The nicest solution would be just to have an application wide hash, where I can put all kinds in of objects. Where and how would I instantiate such an
