I've read good things about the X-Sendfile function of Apache (newer
version of Lighty can do the same, and Nginx probably too), so I
used it. I haven't done any benchmarking, though.
@login_required
def show_pdf(request, process_id):
process = get_object_or_404(models.Process,
pk=utils.convert_id_to_int(process_id))
permissions.assert_can_view_physical_process(request.user, process)
path = process.calculate_pdf_location()
response = HttpResponse()
response["X-Sendfile"] = path
response["Content-Type"] = "application/pdf"
response["Content-Length"] = os.path.getsize(path)
response["Content-Disposition"] = 'attachment;
filename="{0}.pdf"'.format(process.get_pdf_basename())
return response
Tschö,
