Quick send_data question

Rails
1

Hi,

I am using send_data to allow users to download files from the database
but ran into a small problem, it seems that files upload fine but when
they download only 64kb of the file is sent.

I’m using the basic rails code from the Agile book:

#upload code in my sheet model

def file=(document_field)
self.filename = base_part_of(document_field.original_filename)
self.content_type = document_field.content_type.chomp
self.data = document_field.read
end

def base_part_of(file_name)
name = File.basename(file_name)
name.gsub(/[^\w._-]/, ‘’)
end

#download in my application controller

def download
sheet = params[:id]
@sheet = Sheet.find(sheet)
send_data(@sheet.data, :type => @sheet.content_type, :filename =>
@sheet.filename)
end

Am I just completely missing something?

What DB are you using? Maybe there’s a (time or data) limit in your
DB-Configuration?

Im using MySQL on Dreamhost. Do they limit uploads?

It seems that only 64kb of the file is uploaded to the database, is the
rails code at fault here? I would assume that it gets cut off somewhere,
being that 3 files I uploaded that are all different sizes sit in the
database at 64kb.

Thanks
