class Athena::Framework::BinaryFileResponse
inherits Athena::Framework::Response #

Represents a static file that should be returned the client; includes various options to enhance the response headers. See .new for details.

This response supports Range requests and Conditional requests via the If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since, and If-Range headers.

Constructors#

.new(file_path : String | Path, status : HTTP::Status | Int32 = HTTP::Status::OK, headers : HTTP::Headers | ATH::Response::Headers = ATH::Response::Headers.new, public : Bool = true, content_disposition : ATH::BinaryFileResponse::ContentDisposition | Nil = nil, auto_etag : Bool = false, auto_last_modified : Bool = true)#

Instantiates self wrapping the file at the provided file_path, optionally with the provided status, and headers.

By default the response is ATH::Response#set_public and includes a last-modified header, but these can be controlled via the public and auto_last_modified arguments respectively.

The content_disposition argument can be used to set the content-disposition header on self if it should be downloadable.

The auto_etag argument can be used to automatically set ETag header based on a SHA256 hash of the file.
