This uses a server-appropriate method (such as X-Sendfile) # via the Rack::Sendfile middleware. The header to use is set via # config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header. # Your server can also configure this for you by setting the X-Sendfile-Type header. # # Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it is coming from a web # page. <tt>send_file(params[:path])</tt> allows a malicious user to # download any file on your server. # # Options: # * <tt>:filename</tt> - suggests a filename for the browser to use. # Defaults to <tt>File.basename(path)</tt>. # * <tt>:type</tt> - specifies an HTTP content type. # You can specify either a string or a symbol for a registered type register with # <tt>Mime::Type.register</tt>, for example :json # If omitted, type will be guessed from the file extension specified in <tt>:filename</tt>. # If no content type is registered for the extension, default type 'application/octet-stream' will be used. # * <tt>:disposition</tt> - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded. # Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default). # * <tt>:status</tt> - specifies the status code to send with the response. Defaults to 200. # * <tt>:url_based_filename</tt> - set to +true+ if you want the browser guess the filename from # the URL, which is necessary for i18n filenames on certain browsers # (setting <tt>:filename</tt> overrides this option). # # The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are # set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as # possible.
