[web2py] Re: Downloading files from the disk using the path specfied in the db
Actually I wanted to provide a download option for a file which was not uploaded using web2py, rather a database field was populated with the path of the file. I was not aware of response.stream, it solved my purpose.

You can use response.stream (see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#response).
