Defined in:

Overview

Streams a file over a given connection. Streaming begins once the object is instantiated. Typically FileStreamer instances are not reused.

Streaming uses buffering for files larger than 16K and uses so-called fast file reader (a C++ extension) if available (it is part of eventmachine gem itself).

Examples:


module FileSender
  def post_init
    streamer = EventMachine::FileStreamer.new(self, '/tmp/bigfile.tar')
    streamer.callback{
      # file was sent successfully
      close_connection_after_writing
    }
  end
end

Constructor Details

#initialize(connection, filename, args = {}) ⇒ FileStreamer

Returns a new instance of FileStreamer.

Parameters:

  • connection (EventMachine::Connection)
  • filename (String) —

    File path

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (args):

  • :http_chunks (Boolean) — default: false —

    Use HTTP 1.1 style chunked-encoding semantics.
