I managed to find a workaround for streaming which worked: Here's the lighthouse ticket for this issue: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/4554-render-text-proc-regression#ticket-4554-15
And an excellent post about this issue: http://patshaughnessy.net/2010/10/11/activerecord-with-large-result-sets-part-2-streaming-data/ To summarize: 1) render :text => proc seems to be broken in Rails3 2) the documentation is not updated to reflect it's broken (or deprecated) 3) you can use the self.response_body = proc approach like this: ========== class MainController < ApplicationController def test self.response_body = proc { |resp, out| # you can change this logic here to stream what you want. I tested it with some dynamically generated text. while ... out.write "Sample text" end } end end ========== Only problem with this is that the code in the proc gets executed twice (no idea why), so put an if clause to skip every other execution (: Will be glad to hear how you can solve this. 4) WEBrick didn't work for me, Mongrel works great.
