[Zope-dev] How to return downloadable content from Python Method

[Blandford, Simon [BSS Audio UK]]

I am compressing 
files which need to be uncompressed inline before download. The DTML 
href="..." calles a python method in the product which returns the 
uncompressed file data. Say this file is an MSWord document, how do I return 
this as a file to download? Presently, the browser just tries to display the 
binary file and makes a mess of it.

Regards,
Simon

Hi Gregor,

 First off, please don't send HTML mail to the list.

Ouch! Sorry! Easy mistake to make.

 
 You will have to set the Content-Type HTTP header to do that:
 REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', content_type)
 where content_type is the right MIME type of the file you return, e.g.
 something like 'application/msword' in your case.
 Hope  that helps.

Yes it works! Thankyou for your help.

Much appreciated,
Simon B.
