Please describe how you know that it is outputting only a few bytes of your
file.

Can you try the following four-liner:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
$stdout.binmode
print "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"
f = File.open("/path/to/album.zip").read
print f

and if that doesn't work then we can try to narrow it down from there.

Cheers,

Brian.
