I thought that with the /files location that the Ruby app wouldn't be touched once it handed off the download?

The Ruby code issues the path so it looks like a uri:

headers( {'X-Accel-Redirect' => "/files/#{title}",
'Content-Type' => "audio/#{File.extname(title)[1..-1]}",
'Content-Disposition' => "attachment",
'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => 'application/octet-stream',
'Content-Length' => File.size( path_to_file ).to_s,
'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache',
'Content-Description' => 'File Transfer', })


Here's an example of an actual header it sends:

D, [Mon 06-06-2011 1439 #82286] DEBUG -- : to_send_to_nginx: {"X-Accel-Redirect"=>"/files/file.m4a", "Content-Type"=>"audio/m4a", "Content-Disposition"=>"attachment", "Content-Transfer-Encoding"=>"application/octet-stream", "Content-Length"=>"9032392", "Cache-Control"=>"no-cache", "Content-Description"=>"File Transfer"}

so with this:

location /files {
internal;
alias /Users/www/sites/$http_host/assets/files;
}

it should end up with Users/www/sites/fakehost.blob/assets/files/file.m4a ?

It seems to be correct for what I've read in the docs and examples - does it look right to you?

Iain
