similar to: Does send_file act differently with Mongrel than with Webrick?

I tried the mime thing but it did not help. I didn''t think it was that because I can get the mp3 served OK hitting the URL in a browser. I just noticed that I am getting an error in Mongrel when WinAmp make the request for the mp3 file: BAD CLIENT (127.0.0.1): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails. I don''t think Mongrel has a problem with the URL itself because if a browser

We are seeing mongrel processes dying in our mongrel cluster. What is the best way to troubleshoot this? We have ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.0 (upgrading soon), MySql 4.1 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4, Apache 2.2, mongrel-0.3.13.3, mongrel_cluster-0.2.0 I saw the following messages in the mongrel.log but not sure if theay are related to the processes dying. It would be nice if

I''m using monit to restart mongrel processes if they go away. With mongrel 0.3 I could issue a start command and the process would start up even if the .pid file existed (though a warning would appear). Now, with mongrel 1.0.1 the warning says I must clear the .pid file and the process is not started. Is there anyway to force it to start without having to clear the .pid? Regards

I have Mongrel Cluster setup with Apache a mod_proxy_balancer. I''ve seen (from time to time) mongrel instances become non-responsive. Is there anyway to configure the balancer so that it "knows" which processes are no longer good and stops trying to use them? _______________________________________________________ The FREE service that prevents junk email

I am developing in a windows xp environment running WEBrick and MySQL, RoR 0.13.1. I am trying to retrieve the file that I uploaded via Rails using the send_file() method. Instead of returning the file, the file''s contents are being printed out to the WEBrick console, the browser hangs for a while, and then an empty file is returned from the download dialog box (Firefox 1.0.7/IE

I have a directory on Unix exposed as a Samba share. All the filenames are greater than 8.3 format. When I go to this directory from a DOS prompt and do 'del *.*', I get a bunch of errors 'Unable to find file ...'..

On my site I''m allowing users to upload songs in mp3 format. Members can download the full song, but on public pages I would like to use a flash player to play a 30 second clip of the song and/or allow downloading of a 30 second mp3 snippet. The songs are stored above the web root directory, and I use the send_file method for the full file downloads for members. My question is,

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

Hello, I''m working on a download service which grants users a one-time-download access to files. The idea is to write an entry to a database table after a successful download that "locks" the download link for the user. After doing some quick tests with send_file I noticed that send_file does not block until the user has downloaded the full file, but proceeds with the

Hi, I''ve been using send_file in my Rails application with WEBrick happily to send files of various sizes and kinds. The same code fails to send anything but a 500 error when run under Apache, and a log file message "warning: syswrite for buffered IO". Looking back through the mailing list archives I see that there have been send_file bugs in the past. Can some knowledgeable

I want to change this form to use form_remote_tag so that I can set a progress bar and once the PDF is finished, the progress bar hides and the PDF opens. The send_file data is being sent to the browser, but not displayed anywhere. When I use a regular form post, it
