Hello,
I've got a table with files inserted into an upload field. Downloading
works fine when I pass the file path to the default download controller.
<td>{{=A('Download', _href=URL('default', 'download',
args=download_path))}}</td>
However, I'd like the user to be able to change only the name of the file
that is downloaded without having to do any file copying or additional
database inserts. Nor do I want to break web2py's file renaming system. I
want to allow for the possibility that the user might decide to rename the
file later on after they uploaded it by storing the new name and presenting
it at download time.. it seems like this can be done via response.stream
but I cannot make this happen..
I've tried these two strategies (and many modifications) but get errors,
404 not found, or invalid requests...
in the view-
<td>{{=A('Download1', _href=URL('default', 'download1',
args=[download_path, 'new_title']))}}</td>
<td>{{=A('Download2', _href=URL('default', 'download2',
args=[download_path, 'new_title']))}}</td>
in the default controller-
@auth.requires_login()
def download1():
response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/octet-stream"
response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' %
request.args(1)
return response.stream(request.args(0))
@auth.requires_login()
def download2():
return response.stream(request.args(0), attachment=True,
filename=request.args(1))
...is this possible? Thanks in advance for help.
