Serve a binary/static file from view callable (with paste.fileapp?)
Hi everyone, I'd like to serve a (sometimes larger) binary file from one of my views. It seems the preferred method of doing this is with paste.fileapp.FileApp: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2413707/stream-a-file-to-the-http-response-in-pylons (see last response) docs: http://pythonpaste.org/modules/fileapp.html However, the code example is for pylons, and I don't think self.start_response has any meaning in a pyramid view callable, right? If so, I don't know what it means. So, 1) do you indeed think this is the best way to deal with possibly larger (non-text) files? 2) how should i use it in a pyramids view?

No, the best way is to use a real webserver like nginx with the xsendfile module: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile 2) how should i use it in a pyramids view? this should work: def file_view(request): return request.get_response(FileApp(filename)) Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups pylons-discuss group.
