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 dsu...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys, A user would like to download a table dump as a CSV, what's the best way to do this?

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

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 julian.tarkha...@gmail.comwrote: On 3 mrt 2010, at 16:43, David Susco wrote: Is there something similar built into Camping?
