Kohana 3 download file from another server

Question

Hi All,

I am using Kohana 3. Up to now my downloadable files were residing in my application document root. So far using $this->request->send_file($download_file); it was working perfectly right.

But now my downloadable files are on another server can be accessed using http say http:://www.test.com/download/test1.doc. So Kohana's $this->request->send_file is no more working.

Can anybody tell me what could be alternate solution?

You probably want to use @Remote::get@ to download the file locally, then use @Request::send_file@ to download the file. If the server is public, you can simply redirect to the file in question.
