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 with <tt>Mime::Type.register</tt>, for example :json. # If omitted, the type will be inferred from the file extension specified in <tt>:filename</tt>. # If no content type is registered for the extension, the 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 to 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. IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have # a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL). # # Simple download: # # send_file '/path/to.zip' # # Show a JPEG in the browser: # # send_file '/path/to.jpeg', type: 'image/jpeg', disposition: 'inline' # # Show a 404 page in the browser: # # send_file '/path/to/404.html', type: 'text/html; charset=utf-8', status: 404 # # Read about the other Content-* HTTP headers if you'd like to # provide the user with more information (such as Content-Description) in # http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11. # # Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers. # The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached # by intermediaries.
