It probably is not setting the content-type header. Add something like
this to the method that returns the data:

RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', self.content_type)

Where content_type is set to the MIME type of the data, which for MSWord
is 'application/msword'

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

2001-06-08 Thread 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

 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.

Hi Simon,

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

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.

Cheers,

Gregor.

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.

Yes it works! Thankyou for your help.

Much appreciated,
Simon B.
