Hi Jeffm, Here is the link to controller return-tuples doc: http://wiki.erlang-web.org/Eptic/ServerTuples.
There is one called {custom, Val} and using it lets you return anything accepted by the server (Val will go directly to HTTP server). However, once I migrated old system (written in yaws) to ErlangWeb, and there was already yaws module for streaming, so I simply check authorization and set a session on ErlangWeb side and then redirected to yaws module (to do it you need also another appmod defined for this module). ----- "Jeffm" <je...@ghostgun.com> wrote: > Is it possible to stream data from, or to trigger streaming from a > controller model in erlang-web?
