Hi ,

I have appliaction which has various type of streams.  
And iam providing a link to stremname .  
ex:suppose i have stream called test.mpeg4 in public/data/test.mpeg4  
folder  
using to link to stream.  
\<%= link\_to stream.name, stream.location %\>

in index page of controller if i click on name of stream it is  
pointing to below link and able to download.  
[http://localhost:3000/data/cmd.txt](http://localhost:3000/data/cmd.txt)

if i use the same link in show page it is pointing to below link  
[http://localhost:3000/streams/data/cmd.txt](http://localhost:3000/streams/data/cmd.txt)

and as a result not able to download stream anddisplaying like  
Unknown action  
No action responded to data. Actions: create, creates, destroy, edit,  
index, new, show, test, and update

can any one suggest how to resolve the problem.
