Thank you for the reply. I learned something new today! os.tmpfile() seems very useful but I don't think I can apply it in my situation.
The controller creates the file through an API call to a different server running on the system. As a response, the controller gets the file location. So it knows where the file is located and streams it to the client. From my understanding os.tmpfile() would work if I created the file within the controller. Thank you.
