Hi everyone,
I try to use the X-Sendfile header, but it doesn't work as expected.
In my controller:
path = /home/bruno/file.tar.gz
headers['X-Sendfile'] = path
headers['Content-Type'] = application/octet-stream
headers['Content-Length'] = File.size(path)
render :nothing = true
When I request

Thank you Scott.
I'm accessing mongrel directly but I thought that mongrel can use
X-Sendfile without needing another webserver.
Parkplace (a camping app) uses X-Sendfile via mongrel, so I don't
understand. Is it possible to do the same thing with rails?

I had a quick look through lib/mongrel/camping.rb and it looks like there is
some code in the camping handler in order to handle X-Senfile.
The rails handler does not have the same code, so that's probably why you are
seeing the different results.

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you!

I wrote an x-sendfile thing for the railshandler to get mongrel to catch
the response header and stream out files from an application I'm writing
but I'm pretty sure that zed said he'd built in x-sendfile somewhere
already. I couldn't find it, could someone lead me to it?
Does mongrel work
