File.open(@containerformat.location,"rb") do |f| pos=f.tell while @buffer = f.read(4096) ext = File.extname(@containerformat.streamName) if ext == '' extension = File.extname(@containerformat.location) #send_to_web_app(pos, buffer) send_data(@buffer,:filename => @containerformat.name+extension, :disposition => 'attachment') else send_data(@buffer,:filename => @containerformat.streamName, :disposition => 'attachment') pos=f.tell end end now am doing it like above and trying to download 284mb of file but only 211 bytes of file being downloaded.. why?? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
