You don't. Look at the 'send_data' method in action controller. > Do I need to create a method in application.rb for sending back the > static file? Any way to tell a route to result in a static file? If you're going to do this in Rails and you're using a version that supports Rack, do it in rails metal. It will be a *lot* simpler and keep the entire thing out of your logs. http://railscasts.com/episodes/150-rails-metal -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
