    It appears that Rails begins to rely on 'X-Sendfile' support by the server, you may try to use such kind of server or modify your config.ru file: http://gist.github.com/317072

    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

    fkocherga is right. Please check for X-Sendfile support.

    If you uncomment the line

    config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile"
    

    in production.rb, send_file will deliver the file normally without passing it to the webserver.

    could it be that the following line 76 from actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/streaming.rb make the problem?

     self.response_body = File.open(path, "rb")
    

    the response_body should include the binary data or? so they should be a .read behind the File.open

     self.response_body = File.open(path, "rb").read
    

    With this fix, send_file works for me with rails3.beta4 and the passenger version 2.2.15.
    could the zero byte file be a result from serialising the filehandler?

    I have met this problem with rails 3 git and passenger 2.2.15.

    Then I comment config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile" in production.rb

    The send_file is fine.

    I had the same problem on rails 3

    Thanks to mail2fish, comment config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile" in production.rb and now all works fine...
