Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot for the informative posts. My delimma was on DOWNLOAD, and
the suggestion by Robert to mimic serveFile was very helpful.
Now my code resembles:
@expose()
def download(self, filename):
attachment = Attachment.get_by(...) # get from database
if attachment is None:
flash("Attachment not found")
raise redirect('/')
headers = cherrypy.response.headers
# Guess mimetype from extension
ext = ""
i = filename.rfind('.')
if i != -1:
ext = filename[i:].lower()
headers['Content-Type'] = mimetypes.types_map.get(ext,
"unknown/unknown")
headers['Content-Disposition'] = "attachment; filename=%s" %
(filename)
return attachment.content
While this code works on firefox, requesting feedback on whether there
is any better/more robust solution.
I also have a suggestion: serveFile takes care that the entire file is
not loaded in RAM. But this function does not. While it's possible to
mimic that, will it be a good suggestion to have a brother of serveFile
in cherrypy/turbogears library, which can read directly from database
field? (being compatible with SQLAlchemy PickleType)
thanks
sanjay
