similar to: render file in a new browser tab

All, I am using this to render a file to a browser window (a popup) - send_file(''xyz'', :type => ''application/pdf'', :disposition => ''inline'') By default, the window''s title bar shows the host and the name of the controller action (in FF) or the entire URL (in IE). Does anyone know of a way to modify the content of the title

I have managed to force the download of a pdf to the user''s computer, and make the link appear on a page rendered for the user. I cannot figure out how to do both, however. You know "Your download will begin shortly, if not click _here_" Relevant controller code: (this is solely for testing purposes, i will sanitize the path and such later) def test_render_first(path) # send

I''m using send_file to send rather large SWF files that I''d prefer the end browser to cache to reduce my bandwidth usage. I''ve used the method suggested by madrobby (http://mir.aculo.us/ 2005/08/28/internet-explorer-and-ajax-image-caching-woes) to try to catch the HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE request header, and then return HTTP 304 if necessary. However, this only seems to

The first problem is that if you make a builder or .rxml file it always displays as xml in a browser. declare! it and the browser gives and error and if you change rxml to rhtml then it thinks you should be making erb. SO quetion #1 is how do I make builder files render in the browser as html. The next thing that I want to be able to do is be able to render parcials or call other files of other

Hi, in my rhtml, I have two parts, the main part and a partial, the main part has a width almost the same, but the partial is much longer and width. when it happens. the vertical scroll appear correctly on the browser, but the horizontal scroll doesn''t appear on the browser, it appears instead on the partial render part, so I have to scoll down until the end of the partial, that use the

Hello all, I am have an app that is hosted on heroku (rails 4 | ruby 2.0) that I am using paperclip-dropbox to upload attachments to a blog. I have created a download link for people who read the blog to be able to download the attachments but I am not able to get the file to actually download via the browser. I am curious if anyone knows what could be the issue. My process is I download the

I need to get a simple file download to work. I want users to be able to click ''I agree'' after scrolling through a license agreement and the click initiates a download of some software which is in a zip file. I tried using send_file and had some problems I previously posted about. So I am trying to not use send_file. (If anyone can help me with my previous send_file post, that

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

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

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 guys, I have been using this code for a while and on the whole it works well. # Display the search page def search @breadcrumb_title = ''Search'' if request.get? @home_search = HomeSearch.new else request.post? @home_search = HomeSearch.new(params[:home_search]) @search_conditions = Home.search_homes(params).to_sql if @home_search.valid?

Hi- I''d like to load a PDF file into a page, in my controller: send_file "/path to/my.pdf", :disposition => "inline" However, instead of rendering inline, it asks to download the file.

I have a RHTML template and I would like the output of a RXML partial to be embedded within it. When I do <%= render(:partial => ''list_edit'') %> where there exists a _list_edit.rmxl file, I get XML parsing errors in the browser - I believe because the partial is causing the rendered content to be identified as XML instead of HTML. Is there any way to

We are running Apache and Mongrel on RHEL4 and have been experiencing some interesting behaivor. Sometimes when someone logs into our application (it uses the acts_as_authencticaed and acl_system2) the following happens. Instead of the browser rendering the html and displaying all the form elements corretly as you would expect, it simple spews back the output without attempting to render. So

Rails and RSpec are at the latest versions and I''m at a complete loss as to what the devil''s going on here! Any suggestions?

Hi everybody, I''m an ajax newbie. I''m developing on Catalyst ( yes, I know... ;) ) a tabbed-content-browser for managing products ( modify, sort, delete and so on).
