[2.0] After serving a temp file with Ok.sendFile, can I ensure the removal of the temp file?

[Árni Hermann Reynisson]

I'm trying out play2 (play2-mini actually) and I'm serving a file which is a temp file, using Ok.sendFile. Is there any way I can guarantee that the temp file gets deleted afterwards? The file resides in a temp folder which is created with Path.createTempDirectory (from scalax.io) and as far as I can tell, the folder only gets deleted when the server process dies.

Also, I want to give my first impression of using play2. It's simple, awesome and a breath of fresh air. Love the integration with akka. Great work!

Thanks.

Perhaps sendFile should take an onClose function parameter for this
use case. You should report it.

But for now, if you write your own Enumerator, you get the opportunity
to be notified when the client socket close.

Thanks, that worked like a charm.

I opened an issue for this discussion here: https://play.lighthouseapp.com/projects/82401-play-20/tickets/276-have-oksendfile-take-an-onclose-parameter

Fyi, I submitted a pull request which implements onClose parameter for Ok.sendFile. Feedback would be very welcome.
