Hi,

I have a django instance running under mod-python/apache and am having trouble 
with a user that has a poor-quality connection. The task is to generate a 
tab-delim report (rather lengthy one) of which we've been writing-to-response:

    "return HttpResponse(report_tdf, mimetype='text/tab-separated-values')"
    
Problem is, sometime during the 3-5 minutes it takes to generate this file, 
their connection fails. I could send the report via smtp, but would rather see 
if I can mark it to disk and then give them a URL to downlod via (esp. if their 
connection fails).

I've tried the standard file I/O mechanisms but, not surprisingly, appear to be 
running into a permissions problem. Making the directory world-writable or 
adding appache to the django-user's group is not a particularly appealing idea 
=8(@)

Django can upload and mark files to disk but using _that_ mechanism would 
appear to be a hack. And while I might be/appear-to-be one, I would prefer to 
do things as correctly as possible.

Soo, does anyone have a suggestion as to where I should head to resolve this 
problem?

Thanks!

Scott
