Hehe Thanks for the note... Thanks for the clarification... The Html loading is not slow it's fine BUT loading the pictures are still kind of slow even when I only stream them... here is a code I have in my custom download method: def customDownload(): response.stream(open(os.path.join(request.folder,folderName,request.args(0)) ,'rb'))
Is there any others techniques available in Web2py that can help me speed the Pictures loading process ? Any ideas please let me know. Thanks...
