The problem is that download creates a http response with attachment
you should be able to write a function that just returns the content
of the image
def show()
import gluon.contenttype
response.headers['Content-Type'] =
gluon.contenttype.contenttype('.jpg')
filename, file =
db.myimages.img_upload.retrieve( db.myimages[1].img_upload)
return file.read()
