How to stream video through http in Rails 3

How do I add video streaming functionality in my Rails application given the fact that another server will send me the video http packets, and I just need to stream them to the client? any guidance ? tutorials help?

well, I believe html5 tag should do the trick. since you do not need to convert anything and there's a server that can serve your video streaming you could simply use something like:

<video width="100" height="50" controls="controls" autobuffer="autobuffer">
    <source src="http://streaming-server.com/videos/video.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
    <source src="http://streaming-server.com/videos/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

there're both ogg and mp4 versions to support both chrome/safari and firefox.
