Hi, I''m trying to use send_data to stream a file that is stored on my disk (not as a blob in the database.) So, this is what I''ve tried: send_data File.new(filename).read But, the file doesn''t download. I think send_data expects something other than a String (which is returned by File.read.)

I''m trying to use send_data to send a simple text file. Every reference I can find says I can supply a MIME type with the ":type" option and that will determine the kind of file I get on the machine that downloads the file I''m sending.

Hi I''m doing some server-side graphics with Java2D and I''m trying to stream the resulting image to the browser using send_data.
