Hi,  
Can anybody tell me how to display multiple pictures with a download  
link  
below the pictures.  
Scenario :  
The pictures will be in a non public folder and I want to stream (if  
possible) the pictures to the browser with a link below the pictures  
that  
will allow a user to download the picture.  
The reason I am using a non public folder is to regulate authorization  
to  
the pictures, thus only giving a certain set of users access to the  
pictures. Unfortunately I must use non public folders to store the  
pictures.  
I can stream one picture to the browser, but I cannot add any other  
pictures, text or links to this rhtml.  
To create the html containing the pictures and links before hand are not  
an  
option, since I want to create the html being displayed to be dynamic.

I dont have the option to store the image in a database, as suggested by  
alot of google search results.

As you have probably guested, I am a newby to Ruby on Rails, trying to  
convert my perl scripts to ROR.

## Thanks in advance.
