also check out attachment_fu plugin for all round file upload/download
handling.
You should use the send_file or send_data methods available from the
controller
send_data method(if the file is stored as a BLOB in the db)
send_data image.data, :type => image.content_type, :disposition =>
‘attachment’
in this example (from the api docs) this implies you have an
activerecord model called Image, with the fields ‘data’ and
‘content_type’
send_file method (if the file is in the file system (can be outside
rails/public root)
send_file ‘/path/to.jpeg’, :type => ‘image/jpeg’, :disposition =>
‘attachment’
