how do i send back a file as a download? file-response just renders as text in the browser

nvm merged in a content-disposition header and that did it

is there any known problem with ring 1.5 and clojure 1.9 ?

I pulled in a new third-party library that has a dependency on ring and now I'm getting this compile error:

ah, it seems "require" isn't a keyword

weird, it seems it's using ring 1.2 instead of the declared version

Probably some library you’re using is pulling in an old version via a transitive dependency.

lein deps :tree is your friend.
