I'm afraid I'm missing something very basic here.
When a user clicks a link to download a file, how to start the download
after directing to the thank-you page? I can do either, but have not
figured out how to do both.
Obviously, this won't work, but the desired behavior is something like this.
controller
========
def thank_you():
file = request.args[0]
downloader_function(file) # response in downloader_function terminates
thank_you function
message = 'file downloaded'
return dict(message = message)
session.flash should work for a short message, but I would like a page. My
attempts at LOAD() have resulted in the download file appearing in the
created div, not downloading.
Thanks
