HttpResponse works but HttpResponseRedirect does not

[Mike Dewhirst]

I wonder if someone can point out my mistake?

The following code happily downloads a constructed text file ...

    csv = make_csv(context['result'])

    # This downloads a csv file to the user desktop

    return HttpResponse(

        csv,

        headers={

            'Content-Type': 'text/plain',

            # Set the content-disposition header to prompt user download

            'Content-Disposition': f'attachment; filename="{fname}.csv"'

        },

    )






    csv = make_csv(context['result'])

    # This fails to download a csv file

    return HttpResponseRedirect(

        "",

        csv,

        headers={

            'Content-Type': 'text/plain',

            # Set the content-disposition header to prompt user download

            'Content-Disposition': f'attachment; filename="{fname}.csv"'

        },

    )


Many thanks for any help

Cheers

Mike

... but leaves all the entered (unbound) form data on display. However, I want the form cleared ready for the next set of user data. The following code clears the entered data but fails to download the constructed file.
