Hi Niphlod,
It worked! No need for StringIO. I just returned the blob field as the http
response content. The code:
def pdfdoc():
evento = session._eventos[int(request.args(0))] or
redirect(URL('eventos'), args=request.args(0))
response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf'
response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename="teste.pdf"'
return evento['lb_documento'] #lb_documento is a blob field in an
Oracle DB, mapped with a 'blob' type with DAL
BUT (always have a but!), the blob content (PDF) seems to be encoded. When
I open the resulting downloaded file it is not recognized as a PDF file. I
put a print just after retrieve the field from DB and it seems enconded
(base64?). But it´s another problem.
