      # Sends the file. This uses a server-appropriate method (such as X-Sendfile)
      # via the Rack::Sendfile middleware. The header to use is set via
      # config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header.
      # Your server can also configure this for you by setting the X-Sendfile-Type header.
      #
      # Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it is coming from a web
      # page. <tt>send_file(params[:path])</tt> allows a malicious user to
      # download any file on your server.
      #
      # Options:
      # * <tt>:filename</tt> - suggests a filename for the browser to use.
      #   Defaults to <tt>File.basename(path)</tt>.
      # * <tt>:type</tt> - specifies an HTTP content type.
      #   You can specify either a string or a symbol for a registered type register with
      #   <tt>Mime::Type.register</tt>, for example :json
      #   If omitted, type will be guessed from the file extension specified in <tt>:filename</tt>.
      #   If no content type is registered for the extension, default type 'application/octet-stream' will be used.
      # * <tt>:disposition</tt> - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded.
      #   Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default).
      # * <tt>:status</tt> - specifies the status code to send with the response. Defaults to 200.
      # * <tt>:url_based_filename</tt> - set to +true+ if you want the browser guess the filename from
      #   the URL, which is necessary for i18n filenames on certain browsers
      #   (setting <tt>:filename</tt> overrides this option).
      #
      # The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are
      # set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as
      # possible. IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have
      # a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL).

      #
      #   send_file '/path/to.jpeg', :type => 'image/jpeg', :disposition => 'inline'

      # Show a 404 page in the browser:

      #   send_file '/path/to/404.html', :type => 'text/html; charset=utf-8', :status => 404

      # Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers.
      # The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached
      # by intermediaries. They default to require clients to validate with
      # the server before releasing cached responses. See
