Guys,  
Sorry for the rush mail but here ir goes:

```
send_data (File.new("public/images/royal_palace.JPG").read,
  :filename => 'test.jpg',
  :type => "image/jpeg",
  :disposition => "inline" )

```

The above piece of code doesn’t work… really can’t tell why. It just  
shows  
me my action name in the page:

[http://localhost:3004/image/show\_image](http://localhost:3004/image/show_image)

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,  
Leo
