Does anybody know if there is a big performance/time cost difference
between these two methods of serving a file:
------------------------------- #1
send_file “test.png”, :type => ‘image/png’, :disposition => ‘inline’
#2------------------------------------------
content = ‘’
File.open(“test.png”, “rb”) do |f|
f.each_line { |line| content += line }
end
send_data content, :type => ‘image/png’, :disposition => ‘inline’
Are there any other methods? Can method #2 get faster by reading the
entire file in one sweep (as opposed to read line by line)?
Thanx in advance,
Daniel
