Hi,
I have an Attachment model that has a mime_type field. Here's my basic
model:
class Attachment(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
comment=models.ForeignKey(Comment, null=True)
file = models.FileField('File', upload_to=get_attachments_path)
filename = models.CharField(max_length=128)
mime_type = models.CharField(max_length=128)
size = models.IntegerField()
I am able to upload an image just fine and it ends up in a location
such as:
http://172.28.180.51:8080/site_media/attachments/193/3256/PLAY.pptx
In my html that I'm generating I just have the user clicking on
something like this:
<a href="/site_media/attachments/193/3256/PLAY.pptx"
target="_blank">PLAY.pptx</a>
Although I have the mime_type in the model, I am not doing anything
with the mime_type, so obviously it is not getting passed through in
the response. As a result, the Content-Type when running with Apache
is text/plain. (Oddly when running with run_server, the Content-Type
is served up as application/octet-stream.) In any case, the real
mime-type is not getting served up because I'm not providing it.
So my question is - how does one normally do this? Do I have to
create a views.py function which returns an HttpResponse that returns
my attachment and the mimetype together? IE, as described in the doc
where it shows
>>> response = HttpResponse(my_data, mimetype='application/vnd.ms-excel')
>>> response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=foo.xls'
I just was wondering if this is the appropriate solution, or if there
is anything I'm missing.
Thanks for any pointers,
Margie
