This change is needed, because we must take namespace into account and if
controller's/mailer's class is namespaced, engine's paths should be set
instead of application's ones.
The nice side effect of this is removing unneeded logic in
ActionController::Base.inherited - now the helpers_path should be set
correctly even for engine's controllers, so helper(:all) will always
include correct helpers.
mounted_helpers are a bit similar to url_helpers. They're automatically
included in controllers for Rails.application and each of mounted
Engines. Mounted helper allows to call url_for and named helpers for
given application.
Given Blog::Engine mounted as blog_engine, there are 2 helpers defined:
app and blog_engine. You can call routes for app and engine using those
helpers:
app.root_url
app.url_for(:controller => "foo")
blog_engine.posts_path
blog_engine.url_for(@post)
* Add the Rack::Sendfile middleware
* Make the header to use configurable via config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header (default to "X-Sendfile").
* Add Railties tests to confirm that these work
* Remove the :stream, :buffer_size, and :x_senfile default options to send_file
* Change the log subscriber to always say "Sent file"
* Add deprecation warnings for options that are now no-ops
Note that servers can configure this by setting X-Sendfile-Type. Hosting companies and those creating packages of servers specially designed for Rails applications are encouraged to specify this header so that this can work transparently.
