[Dancer-users] sending back an image

[Puneet Kishor]

I think I had asked a variation of this question earlier, but I don't 
have a clear resolution, so I ask again.

I have several folders full of images like so

foo/images/
     1.gif
     2.gif
     3.gif
     ..

bar/images/
     1.gif
     2.gif
     3.gif
     ..

I want to send a query like so `http://server/foo/1` or 
`http://server/bar/3` and get back the correct image. So, I have the 
following route

get '/:model/:model_id' => sub {
     my $model_id      = params->{model_id};
     my $model       = params->{model};

     my $dir = '/Users/punkish/Sites/app/public';
     my $img = "$model/images/$model_id.gif";
     debug("sending '$dir/$img'");
     send_file("$dir/$img");
};

I get the following message in my debug log

[90645] debug @0.009700> [hit #1] sending 
'/Users/punkish/Sites/app/public/foo/images/1.gif' in ..

But, the browser says, "Firefox can't find the file at http://server/foo/1"

What gives?
