UPDATE: The error I was getting was caused by a missing ')' in the view so fixing that has gotten me to a new error.
I simplified my model to how you have pbreit just to make things
easier.
But when I try to display the image like so:
<img src="{{=URL('download', args=img['upload'])}}" />
I get a 400 error in the Chrome Console:

400 (BAD REQUEST)
There is that field storage again. I tried doing
img['upload'].filename as recommended in this link:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/9562da3b8bfb4c96/5cf5dca2885e473c?lnk=gst&q=How+to+retrieve+data+from+FieldStorage#5cf5dca2885e473c
But I got an error that the object was a string and .fieldname
wouldn't work.
Thoughts?
I'm using SQLForm to upload the image. Maybe I'm doing something
strange upon upload to store it in such a weird format?
