if file.doc is in a folder named docs in the public folder
what exactly happens in the browser would depend on the users settings. most likely the browser would ask him to save it

it will download the file , but i dont want to download the file, i just want to read the file in browser itself
Make sure you set the :disposition parameter to :inline. By default (:attachment) it gets streamd for download.
send_data '/files/my.doc', :disposition=>:inline
