Hi Claudio,
sending something "as a file" is really easy (assuming the file is
reasonably small). You just set the correct HTTP headers and sent the
content:
class YourAction
def GET(self, ...):
...
web.header('Content-Type', mime_type)
web.header('Content-Length', len(fIle_content))
web.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' %
(file_name))
return content
where `file_content` is the content of the file, `mime_type` its MIME type
(if known) and `file_name` is whatever name you want the browser to think
the file has (doesn't necessary have to be the same as on your filesystem).
`file_content` you easily obtain like this (there are more ways for sure):
with open('Path/to/file', 'r') as f:
file_content = f.read()
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jan
