How I should construct Response object, to serve images/attachments from DB in Symfony2?

Symfony2 abstracts Request and Response objects, how I should create Response object, to serve client file attachments, and images for browser display?

You could simply use the Response object:

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

And set the Content-Type in it that way:

return new Response($image, 200, array('Content-Type' => 'image/png'));

Another solution might be this as image is not one of symfony2 supported formats on the Request object.

Also:

static protected function initializeFormats()
{
    static::$formats = array(
        'html' => array('text/html', 'application/xhtml+xml'),
        'txt'  => array('text/plain'),
        'js'   => array('application/javascript', 'application/x-javascript', 'text/javascript'),
        'css'  => array('text/css'),
        'json' => array('application/json', 'application/x-json'),
        'xml'  => array('text/xml', 'application/xml', 'application/x-xml'),
        'rdf'  => array('application/rdf+xml'),
        'atom' => array('application/atom+xml'),
        'rss'  => array('application/rss+xml'),
    );
}

are Symfony's Request object default available formats. Can check in here.

Good luck!

You could use the IgorwFileServeBundle which allows you to break the response abstraction to gain performance. If you are using nginx, you can also take advantage of its XSendfile functionaliy.

Note: Lighttpd and Apache have an alternative XSendfile implementation with some differences and are not supported yet. Pull requests welcome.
