No, you can't do that. Why would you want to? Your users aren't going to have that file on their machines, so what's the point of referencing a local file path? You serve the content through your webserver, with an http:// protocol. In development, you can do this through Django's development server: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/static-files/ -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
