Rack::GridFS
Rack:GridFS is a Rack middleware for creating HTTP endpoints for files stored in MongoDB’s GridFS. You can configure a prefix string which will be used to match the path of a request and create an id for looking up the file in the GridFS store.
For example,
GET '/gridfs/someobjectid'
If the prefix is “gridfs”, then the key will be be “someobjectid”.
