Wow...okay that does work!
Here's what's happening...
Your example works----
This also works:
@expose(content_type='text/plain')
def show_text_file(self, **kw):
requested = kw['file']
f = open(requested)
data = f.readlines()
f.close()
return "".join(data[-500:])
This however doesn't work, it gives it as html:
@expose(content_type='text/plain')
def show_text_file(self, **kw):
requested = kw['file']
f = open(requested)
data = f.readlines()
f.close()
return data[-500:]
But this weirdly does work, it's returned as text
@expose()
def show_text_file(self, **kw):
requested = kw['file']
f = open(requested)
data = f.readlines()
f.close()
cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Type'] = "text/plain"
return data[-500:]
I expected the exact same behavior setting the content_type in the
expose or using the response headers, but you get different results
depending on what you return.
Strange...but I assume this is the expected behavior. (Maybe it would
be better to raise an exception if a string is not returned when you
set the content-type to 'text/plain' instead of ignoring the content-
type parameter in this case?)
