# Sends the file. This uses a server-appropriate method (such as X-Sendfile)
# via the Rack::Sendfile middleware. The header to use is set via
# +config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header+.
# Your server can also configure this for you by setting the X-Sendfile-Type header.
#
# Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it is coming from a web
# page. send_file(params[:path]) allows a malicious user to
# download any file on your server.
#
# Options:
# * :filename - suggests a filename for the browser to use.
# Defaults to File.basename(path).
# * :type - specifies an HTTP content type.
# You can specify either a string or a symbol for a registered type with Mime::Type.register, for example :json.
# If omitted, the type will be inferred from the file extension specified in :filename.
# If no content type is registered for the extension, the default type 'application/octet-stream' will be used.
# * :disposition - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded.
# Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default).
# * :status - specifies the status code to send with the response. Defaults to 200.
# * :url_based_filename - set to +true+ if you want the browser to guess the filename from
# the URL, which is necessary for i18n filenames on certain browsers
# (setting :filename overrides this option).
#
# The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are
# set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as
# possible. IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have
# a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL).
#
# Simple download:
#
# send_file '/path/to.zip'
#
# Show a JPEG in the browser:
#
# send_file '/path/to.jpeg', type: 'image/jpeg', disposition: 'inline'
#
# Show a 404 page in the browser:
#
# send_file '/path/to/404.html', type: 'text/html; charset=utf-8', status: 404
#
# Read about the other Content-* HTTP headers if you'd like to
# provide the user with more information (such as Content-Description) in
# http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11.
#
# Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers.
# The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached
# by intermediaries. They default to require clients to validate with
# the server before releasing cached responses. See
# http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ for an overview of web caching and
# http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9
# for the Cache-Control header spec.

# Sends the given binary data to the browser. This method is similar to

# the file name, and other things.

# Options:
# * :filename - suggests a filename for the browser to use.
