Hey guys, I'm using the Maverick packages, so Django 1.2.3
I need to serve a large binary (an mp3 in this case) directly through
Django to ensure good access control independent of the web server itself.
I have the following snippet of code, to download binary files via django:
filename = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, diary.file.name)
filesize = os.path.getsize(filename)
mimetype, encoding = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)
lastmodified = http_date(os.path.getmtime(filename))
wrapper = FileWrapper(file(filename))
response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type=mimetype)
#response = HttpResponse(open(filename).read(), content_type=mimetype)
response['Content-Length'] = filesize
response['Last-Modified'] = lastmodified
return response
For some reason, I only ever get a zero-length response out of this. But
if I uncomment the other HttpResponse, the one that reads it all into
memory first (yuck!) it works just fine. Why would the FileWrapper not
be doing what it's supposed to do?
