I’ve been following a tutorial for Rails that goes through uploading  
images directly to databases. The problem is that using image\_tag keeps  
automatically appending .png to the end of the address.  
/classified/image/9 displays the image correctly, but the image  
/classified/image/9.png keeps being added to the view instead.

Thanks in advance!

classified\_controller.rb:  
…  
def image  
@image = Classified.find(params[:id])  
send\_data @image.picture, :filename =\> “pic.jpg”,  
:type =\> @image.content\_type, :disposition =\> “inline”  
end  
…

show.rhtml:  
…  
\<% unless @classified.picture.blank? %\>  
\<%= image\_tag(url\_for({:action =\> ‘image’, :id =\> @classified.id})) -%\>  
\<% end %\>  
…
