I didn't test this code, but looking at the api it looks like
Workbook#write will take an IO stream.
require 'stringio'
require 'spreadsheet'
book = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new
blob = StringIO.new("")
book.write blob
send_data blob
Be sure to checkout the link below on send_data, it will allow you to
transfer the stream of data without writing it to disk first.
