Re: sending data/overriding response headers?
In Camping 2 you can return an object which responds to #each and the server will then stream it to the client. If you want the file to trigger a download-box on the user, you'll have to send Content-Disposition as Julik mentioned. Something like this should work, although I'm not 100% sure: @headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=table.csv' // Magnus Holm On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 17:04, Julik Tarkhanov wrote: > > On 3 mrt 2010, at 16:43, David Susco wrote: > > Is there something similar built into Camping? >> > > > Before it was so that you could return an IO object from your action and it > would just work.

Re: sending data/overriding response headers?
Sure, just make sure to enable X-Sendfile in Apache/Nginx, and then set it yourself: def get @headers['X-Sendfile'] = "/full/path/to/file" @headers['Content-Type'] = "text/plain; charset=utf-8" end Or if you want Rack to figure out which Content-Type to send: file = "/full/path/to/file" @headers['X-Sendfile'] = file @headers['Content-Type'] = Rack::Mime.mime_type(File.extname(file)) + "; charset=utf-8" If you ever need to send custom headers, just use the @headers hash. // Magnus Holm On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 16:43, David Susco wrote: > Hey guys, > > A user would like to download a table dump as a CSV, what's the best > way to do this? > > ActionController has send_data: > > http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streaming.html > > Is there something similar built into Camping? > > If not, is there a way to override the response headers of a > controller to declare the response as something other than HTML (so > the csv isn't displayed in the browser)? > > -- > Dave > ___ > Camping-list mailing list > Camping-list@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list > ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
sending data/overriding response headers?
Hey guys, A user would like to download a table dump as a CSV, what's the best way to do this? ActionController has send_data: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streaming.html Is there something similar built into Camping? If not, is there a way to override the response headers of a controller to declare the response as something other than HTML (so the csv isn't displayed in the browser)? -- Dave ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
