Error 400 Your request is invalid in yii if i am creating link

I'm pretty new to Yii, so this might be a silly question. I must be missing something somewhere. Plz help me out. I have just written a simple code while I'm learning Yii. I have a spark controller which has an action that looks like this:

public function actionDownload($name){

          $filecontent=file_get_contents('images/spark/'.$name);
          header("Content-Type: text/plain");
          header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
          header("Pragma: no-cache");
          echo $filecontent;
          exit;
    }

Now I have enabled SEO friendly URLs and echo statement in the view file to display the returned download file name. But when I go to the URL, SITE_NAME/index.php/spark/download/db5250efc9a9684ceaa25cacedef81cd.pdf I get error 400 - your request is invalid.

Plz let me know if I am missing something here.

Make sure if you are properly supplying the parameter name ($name) in your request.

Use

SITE_NAME/index.php/spark/download/name/db5250efc9a9684ceaa25cacedef81cd.pdf

or

SITE_NAME/index.php/spark/download?name=db5250efc9a9684ceaa25cacedef81cd.pdf

instead of just SITE_NAME/index.php/spark/download/db5250efc9a9684ceaa25cacedef81cd.pdf

Yii keeps an eye on the params you pass into an action function. Any params you pass must match what's in $_GET.

So if you're passing $name then you need to make sure there's $_GET['name'] available.

So check your URL manager in /config/main.php, and make sure you're declaring a GET var:

'spark/download/<name:[a-z0-9]+>' => 'site/download', // Setting up $_GET['name']

Otherwise change your function to the correct param variable:

public function actionDownload($anotherName){

}

Did you create the URL correct? You should do it best with 

Yii::app()->createUrl('/spark/download',array('name'=>$filename));
