Hi, I'm having problems with downloading a large file with internet explorer (IE8 in my case). Once the "File download" dialog appears and you choose Save, you can point the location where to save the file. Depending on how much time i spend, selecting the "save to" location, my file gets only partially saved.
works ok with other browsers. The response i'm creating is not a string but a generator. As i have spend some time looking for a solution i ran into this article which probably has something to do with my problem: http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/ReturnVsYield Some of the code i'm using. Controller code: @expose() @handle_exception('/configuration/device/backup') def export(self, **kwargs): return filedownloader(octet_stream = file_content, filename = "test.tgz", content_type = 'application/x-gzip') export._cp_config = {'response.stream': True} filedownloader: from itertools import izip_longest def grouper(n, iterable, fillvalue=None): "grouper(3, 'ABCDEFG', 'x') --> ABC DEF Gxx" args = [iter(iterable)] * n return izip_longest(fillvalue=fillvalue, *args) def string_chunks(octet_stream, chunck_size): for chunk in grouper(chunck_size, octet_stream): yield "".join(x for x in chunk if x is not None) def filedownloader(octet_stream, filename='output.txt', content_type='text/plain', chunck_size=8192*2, inline=False): addFileDownloadHeaders(content_type, filename, inline) return string_chunks(octet_stream, chunck_size) I'm using CherryPy 3.1.2, Turbogears 2.1 Any ideas what i'm missing here?
