=head1 HELPERS

=head2 C<render_file>

    $self->render_file(filepath => '/tmp/files/file.pdf', 'filename' => 'report.pdf' );

With this helper you can easily provide files for download. By default "Content-Type" header is "application/x-download" and "content_disposition" option value is "attachment".
Therefore, a browser will ask where to save file. You can provide "format" option to change "Content-Type" header.
