similar to: error with send_file.. please help me...

Hi, I''m developing a Rails application that (amongst other things) lets users download media files. These files range in size from a few kilobytes up to several gigabytes. All this development is taking place with Rails 1.0 on a Solaris host with Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails mode set to "development". I''m using the Rails send_file method to send each file with these

I''m trying to build a simple proxy to Amazon S3 that would allow a client to request a url that gets mapped to a S3 Object by Rails and streamed back to the client. For S3 integration, I use the highly recommended gem AWS::S3 (http://amazon.rubyforge.org/), and to send a file, I simply use the send_file function. The concept works BUT the I can''t get the file to be sent as

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''m attempting to use send_file to send an image file from public/images. The file is world readable.

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

I had a problem with the send_file method. I saw that some of you had the same problem but with no real solution/explanation first problem the :stream options, and not ''streaming'' as I see in some doc or book. the second problem : when you set :stream to true, there''s a use of syswrite that should not be. I detailed this in response to a ticket opened by stuart

Am using dashboard 1.1.1 with the use_file_bucket_diffs option.

We have a service that clients use to upload files. We have a couple of clients that are on slow links and so their upload times out. We get errors in the logs that I''d like to get rid of. I was hoping that the recent commit 24b9f66dcdda44378b4053645333ce9ce336b413 would help us, but it does not. After digging in a bit, I have some ideas about why and a patch I''d like comments

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

All, I have an existing form that calls an action which in turn creates a PDF and sends it to the browser using send_file. 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

While working with the newly fixed output compression plugin, one of the devs in my team discovered that it breaks with send_file(). So if you are using send_file() in your application you must get the fixed file I''ve put at: http://devblog.famundo.com/output_compression.rb. The change is actually in checking for the Content-Disposition header added by send_file(). See the full writeup

Or perhaps I am stumbling in newbie fashion (tho I have active_merchant and a store site basically up and running in development mode - still I don''t feel I always understand what is going on.) So, when I have send_file(filename, :type => ''application/x-zip'') redirect :action => index the send_file seems to hang, rather than complete. I''m deducing

Has anyone managed to use send_file with :stream => true? I''m currently still developing using Rails 1.1.2 on windows xp so might be OS problem. But google results show this also happen on linux hosts. I think using send_file with :stream => false is pointless. Since send_data does exactly the same thing. Or am I mistaken?

I''ve got a Rails 1.1 app where people can click a link to download a custom-generated file. The link to "Download Zip" goes to / controller/get_zip.

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.

Hello, I am trying to use send_file in my controller to serve up specific content: (.doc, ..xls) Seems to work fine in IE, but in FF (1.0.7, on Windows) after the file d/ls and the app (MS Word, MSExcel) opens up with the content, a blank window comes to the front (gets focus). Any idea how to prevent this? Do I need a redirect_to after the send_file in my controller''s download_file
