Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner with Pylons and am trying to set the filename of a file
to download in an action (that is, controller method):
def environ3(self):
msg = list(request.environ.items())
msg = [ str(el[0]) + " " + str(el[1]) for el in msg ]
msg.sort()
msg = "<br>\n".join(msg)
fname = r'C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\HelloWorld\helloworld\controllers\re.txt'
fapp = fileapp.FileApp(fname, content_type="text/plain",
Content_Disposition="attachment; filename=re.txt")
fapp.set_content(msg)
retval = fapp(request.environ, self.start_response)
return retval
A few questions:
1. why doesn't fapp.set_content method work? It silently quits, but the
actual file downloaded has contents of the file on the disk, not the
string I pass to the set_content method.
Is there a way to pass the string to have it sent to the browser as
file? If I set response.content_type to e.g. "application/zip" and
return the string in the controller, the file with that content gets
sent, except it has wrong name. Is there a way to set it?
2. Is there a simpler way to send the desired file with desired name and
MIME type? To be frank, the above is a bit of rigmarole.
thanks in advance,
Marcin
