Quirky stuff here, The current setup works fine for Firefox 3.6 and IE 8 but balks on earlier IEs. The files are PDFs, .doc files, and other binaries but up to several MB: A. the users'' problem is a minor IE7 quirk: it works to download files from clicking links, but if you use the URL instead then the browser stops after a fraction of a second.

Hello guys, I am having the option to download certain folders on my app in zip format. So every time a user requests one I''m doing a system call to zip the folder (ex: system(''cd ''+path+'' && zip ...) and then the send_file method to send it.

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 have a fix for the sendfile.c code for HP-UX - length not properly specified prior to call. I've also added code to support the AIX send_file() function and configure.in code to check for AIX specific send_file API and sets AIX_SENDFILE_API if successful. Could you consider this patch for 3.0.11? I also sent a web/cgi.c patch for "struct var" last week with respect to compile

Hi, I have a Rails application running where clients can initiate through their browsers fairly long-running server processes. At the end of the long-running server process the results are downloaded as a separate file.

Good morning! I have a case where I need to build a csv file from my model and allow a user to download/save that file. I''ve got this all working with non-Ajax forms, but the generation of the csv file can take quite a bit of time, so I want to provide a busy indicator for my user.

I am trying to user XSendFile in my application. I have installed the plugin and in the environment.rb included this line XSendFile::Plugin.replace_send_file! but it is unable to read the files.
