The line of HAML I have is: = link_to '(MP4)', '/videolib/Workstation-Suspend-Put-001.mp4', 'class' => video_type_link_to The user clicks on "(MP4)" and the download automagically begins. Does the link_to initiate a send_file? Should I be doing a send_file explicitly? How? These large-ish (100MB each) videos are fairly static ... maybe being updated once a week or less.
