[Dancer-users] sending file fails

[Puneet Kishor]

 solved!


I can't give a full, absolute path name to the file when using `send_file`. I *have* to give a path relative to the 'public' directory. Changing the path to relative to 'public' sends the file alright.


Could this *please* be listed in *bold* in the documentation for `send_file`?


Many thanks,
