similar to: Cannot send_file then delete it

I''m attempting to use send_file to send an image file from public/images. The file is world readable. I keep getting the following error: A ActionController::MissingFile occurred in account#current_logo: Cannot read file public/images/logo.png /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/streaming.rb:55:in `send_file'' I''ve tried supplying

I''m trying to add a link to download a zip file. I created a controller method that makes the call to send_file: def getzip send_file ''file.zip'' end When I navigate to this link I get a MissingFile exception. The file definitely exists (and U triple-checked paths and spelling) and the permissions are 644. I tried moving it to the /public folder and updating the

Does anybody know if there is a big performance/time cost difference between these two methods of serving a file: ------------------------------- #1 ----------------------------------------- send_file "test.png", :type => ''image/png'', :disposition => ''inline'' ------------------------------- #2------------------------------------------

So this is the original code I used, and it worked send_file ''vendor/sprites/not-found.png'', {:filename => "sprite-not-found.png", :type => "image/png", :disposition => "inline"} Now I switched it to this (going to be adding imageMagick) send_data File.read(''vendor/sprites/not-found.png''), {:filename =>

I have a form_remote_tag that calls a method to print out a csv file for download. If I tell the form_remote_tag to update a div the data comes up in that div, but otherwise I can''t get the browser to acknowledge the sent file. >From view: <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => "csv_dump" }%> <%= submit_tag "Download Complete List" ,:name

I''m running a Rails application with WEBrick server. We are displaying an Image from the server to the Client (Browser). First time on the browser everything looks fine, upon clicking the link, it contacts the server and displays in IE brwoser the image that was stored on the server. But in case if the image gets changed on the server(File Name being the same), then even though i

Hello, We are using JRuby 1.5.1/ruby 1.8.7/Rails 2.3.8 with a GWT front end. I''m having an issue when attempting to send a server side .csv file to the user using rails send_file. my code is: send_file(path_to_file, type=>''text/csv'') While this is returning fine with an http status of 200, the client side save as dialog is never opening for the user to receive

Hi! Is it possible to render the action within the after_filter method, or is the rendering performed before? I have something like this: class FooController after_filter :send def a @content=... end def b @content=.. end protected def send send_data(@content,...) end end However, when calling the action a or b, the @content doesn''t get sent, but instead

Anyone know how to send a file/data to the user agent (download it) using #send_file or #send_data, *and* render a new page in the same action? This just sends the file and doesn''t render the page: def gimme ... send_data(our_data, :filename => ''output.csv'', :disposition => ''attachment'') end And this will give a Double-Render error:

Hi, Controller code: if params[:main_image] image = Image.new image.blob = params[:main_image].read @product.main_image.destroy if @product.main_image @product.main_image = image end When I try to display the image using send_data, I get the following error: ArgumentError (string contains null byte):

We have our rails application running using lighttpd and everything seems fine with Firefox, but when the client is Explorer some media doesn''t get transferred from the server correctly. With Webrick, Content-Length is set when a request is made for an mp3 file. Using Firefox with lighttpd, Transfer-Encoding is set to chunked, so the Content-Length field isn''t required.

I have a controller that serves up images from a different location from /public/images/ by using send_file or send_data on /media/thumbs/ 38 for example In lighttpd I have: expire.url = ( "/media/" => "access 10 years", "/stylesheets/" => "access 10 years" , "/javascripts/" => "access 10 years",

Hi, I want to offer a CSV download of data in my Rails app (eg. An "Export to Excel" link to grab the current view of tabulated data). However, I can''t seem to break-out of the Rails framework to output this non-HTML data. Even if I eliminate my layout template from my view, the most basic view (no HTML) will still wrap the output in

Hi, I''m trying to figure out the best way to protect images uploaded by users who may wish to keep them private. For example, if they are uploaded in the default file_column location (/public/blah/blah/1/) then someone can simply type the URL http://www.blah.com/blah/blah/1 and get the image. I can store the images in a non-public directory in the rails app (ie: /railsapp/images/X/)

Anyone know of a good (fast) way to encrypt/decrypt uploaded files in RoR? I''ve seen this project: http://ezcrypto.rubyforge.org/ but it only seems to encrypt strings and such. I need to encrypt files once they are uploaded, then decrypt them when they request the file back. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to display a generated .png plot via send_data(), but it results in a server error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error. I''m pretty sure this means that I need to specify the encoding somewhere, but I haven''t been able to figure out where or how to do so. Some particulars: I''m running gnuplot through a pipe to generate a plot in .png

I know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

I''m trying to figure out a possible memory leak problem I have in my application. I''ve tested both with mongrel and webrick and the problem remains. So I think it''s not a mongrel problem, but I''m posting here to see if anybody can help me. The RAILS application is quite simple, no special plugins ( no RMagick that has the memory problem ),
