Comment (by arne):
I create tar files on the fly with os.popen2() and pass stdout, which is a
fileobj, as response.content, doing a len(response.content) reads the
full tar file into memory, which can be > 500MB in my case. Without
checking for the content length everything works fine and I can do a
"streaming" download to the browser ...
As a workaroung I have patched my django tree and added the following two
lines at the top of process_response() in the ConditionalGetMiddleware:
{{{
if(response._is_string == False):
return response
}}}
This may not be fully HTTP compatible, but I see no other way of sending
large files without creating temp-files ...
