The command File.read(file_url) in the code below won't work because I'm trying to pull down a file such as (example - file_url= 'http://placecorgi.com/100/100.pdf') which is not a file but a file on a server.

What do I need to change to pull down this file from AWS and send through UserMailer?

  class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
         def send_user_pages(user, file_url)
            @user = user
            attachments["user_pages.pdf"] = File.read(file_url)
            mail(to: user.email, subject: 'Your Pages')
          end
   end

Hi BMW - Is that process async? – whoaaallamapajama Jan 12 '15 at 01:26
Do you mean the pdf keep updated? – BMW Jan 12 '15 at 01:47
where would I add the line `attachments["user_pages.pdf"] = File.read(file_url)` in the code...`open('image.png', 'wb') do |file| file << open('http://example.com/image.png').read end` \n After? in the block? I can't seem to get it to work – whoaaallamapajama Jan 12 '15 at 20:45
