I have an application which uses send_file to send a ZIP file to the client. This works nicely when it's run on our development OS-X boxes, using mongrel from script/server, but on our production server, using mongrel behind Apache 2.2. with mod_proxy_balancer, the client gets 1 byte delivered :-(
Niall, what is the error logged when you get a 500 status in production? In any case, your best bet is to use the X-Sendfile header to tell Apache which file path to send. Streaming files from Rails means your Mongrel process is tied up for the duration -- no good. See http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSendFilesFast for more on how to use Apache's mod_xsendfile. Best, jeremy
