Installation¶ ↑

as a dependency in a Gemfile in your project’s root:
gem 'sinatra-xsendfile'
and run bundle install
.
Otherwise install the gem as usual:
[sudo] gem install sinatra-xsendfile
Example¶ ↑
require 'rubygems' require 'sinatra' require 'sinatra/xsendfile' configure :production do Sinatra::Xsendfile.replace_send_file! # replace Sinatra's send_file with x_send_file set :xsf_header, 'X-Accel-Redirect' # set x_send_file header (default: X-SendFile) end get '/' do x_send_file(__FILE__) end get '/lighttpd' do x_send_file(__FILE__, :header => 'X-LIGHTTPD-send-file') # custom header end get '/sendfile' do send_file(__FILE__) # will work as x_send_file in production (see configure block) end
Note that if your application subclasses Sinatra::Base
(modular app), you have to register the extension in your subclass:
helpers Sinatra::Xsendfile
