This is my other account. I found the problem, the url structure was bad
cos i checked with the google docs viewer syntax and it needed the url to
be url encoded, http://blablabla, but the url that gets submitted when i do
URL('download', args=update.file) is sent in the form
/[app]/default/download/file without the http://domain.com, i changed that
to the absolute path and it worked. what i have a problem with now is being
able to resize the embedded document... it appears in a small box and i
don't know how to resize it.... help please?
