Hi, I’d just like to interject to say that building within Visual Studio isn’t really that bad. Running the lit tests is a bit painful because the LLVM build tools that are integrated with the build system don’t play nice with msbuild. Particularly, I’ve never been able to actually cancel an invocation of lit or tablegen via visual studio. That said, there is a huge upside to building with

Looking at the code for ActionController#send_file I see that it is using ruby to send the file contents. Linux supports a sendfile() OS call. The implementation of Linux sendfile() is extremely fast and very CPU efficient, far faster than what can be done in user space. Does Windows support a sendfile() equivalent call? I haven''t been working with ruby long enough to know how it handles

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".

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. What happens is that I''m keeping track of disk space so I need to delete the zip immediately. I was

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

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

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''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.

My application accepts a form to create multiple large(100''s of MB) temporary files and then zip''s them up to send off to a user. I have the files constructed, and the zipping working. The problem is that if I use send_file to send the zip off to the user, I cannot delete the file afterwards as it seems send_file forks off another process and deletes the file before the
