good to hear..

well what youre really specifying is a URL that is interpreted as that 
method on that controller, i.e. the rails convention for URL mapping. 
The browser then retrieves the img like a typical JPG. send_file returns 
a byte stream [i.e. no HTTP headers, etc] which is subsequently 
rendered..  It all pretty straightforward actually - it's probably worth 
reading abt the HTTP 1.1 protocol if you found the previous few lines 
compelling..
