I''m trying to display a generated .png plot via send_data(), but it results in a server error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error. I''m pretty sure this means that I need to specify the encoding somewhere, but I haven''t been able to figure out where or how to do so. Some particulars: I''m running gnuplot through a pipe to generate a plot in .png

Dears, Got a controller witch do a send_data for displaying a chart. like : send_data(g.to_blob, :filename => "any.png", :type => ''image/png'', :disposition=> ''inline'') I actually do a <img src="http://myhost:3000/stats/make_graph" /> Is there any way more clean to do that ?

I''m a newbie having trouble using send_data to send a jpeg file to the browser for display in an html img tag. This is the relevant code from my controller (photos_controller.rb): def retrieve @photo = Photo.find(params[:id]) send_data File.read(@photo.abs_img_path), :type => "image/ jpeg", :disposition => "inline" end def download @photo =

So this is the original code I used, and it worked send_file ''vendor/sprites/not-found.png'', {:filename => "sprite-not-found.png", :type => "image/png", :disposition => "inline"} Now I switched it to this (going to be adding imageMagick) send_data File.read(''vendor/sprites/not-found.png''), {:filename =>

I am still attempting to figure out how to send an Itext generated pdf Document to the browser. I am looking at the following blog posting where someone is using jruby and iText to create a pdf file and then sending it to the browser : http://codersifu.blogspot.com/2007/06/howto-generate-pdf-files-in-ruby-on.html Unlike the above example I am using only ruby / on rails. I would like to do

Hi, for those with experience of Gruff module: suppose I want to send image from server straight to the browser (as example on gruff web site): send_data(g.to_blob, :disposition => ''inline'', :type => ''image/png'', :filename => "gruff.png") the server seems sending this binary data ok, but I am having

Guys & gals, I''m also learning RoR (using v2.3.4). I''ve got a basic scaffold working for image file creation, and - to a point - image file display. The send_data function is working in my controller - no problem. The model code is able to parse the uploaded file construct too. def show @image = Image.find(params[:id]) send_data(@image.binary_data, :type =>

Does anybody know if there is a big performance/time cost difference between these two methods of serving a file: ------------------------------- #1 ----------------------------------------- send_file "test.png", :type => ''image/png'', :disposition => ''inline'' ------------------------------- #2------------------------------------------

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. When I try to view the image that I streamed, the browser just shows the URL in the window as a very small image (about .4 kb) when I am using jpeg format. For png, it tells me that the image has errors and can''t load it. Here''s what

Hi, looking for something that simple, but can''t find it. I got: outfile = File.open(''teams.txt'', ''wb'') CSV::Writer.generate(outfile) do |csv| for team in @teams csv << [team.id, team.name] end end outfile.close send_file "teams.txt", :filename => "teams.txt",:disposition =>

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.) Anyone know how to get this working? The reason this is being done is to

I MAY be able to derive something out of the present example given here : http://blog.codeinmotion.com/index.php/2006/12/22/pdf-generation-in-ruby-on-rails/ but this deals with filling out forms. Is there a simpler example that just allows you to talk to itext , send it some plain text and get back a pdf and then send that pdf to the user as downloadable / renderable data? -- Posted via

Hi, I am using send_data to allow users to download files from the database but ran into a small problem, it seems that files upload fine but when they download only 64kb of the file is sent. I''m using the basic rails code from the Agile book: #upload code in my sheet model def file=(document_field) self.filename = base_part_of(document_field.original_filename)

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. Instead I ALWAYS get an XML file. here''s the code snippet: File.open(@temp_download_file_path, ''r'') do

Has anyone else had trouble using send_data with internet explorer. As usual things were working fine in firefox and safari until I tested in IE :). With the following code I''m seeing an image show up in firefox but the "X" indicating no image found in IE. Any ideas? @image_data = Image.find(:all, :conditions=>{:url => "http://reddit.com"}) @image =

Short question: is there way to tell EM to actually send data after send_data call? I''m building a file transferring app. I send Mashal.dump''ed metadata first, and then - the file contents (chunked). I found a silly bug: receive_data() gets marshalled metadata and the first chunk of the file in a single variable. Like that: c1.send_data("meta")
