Maybe a view with something like
def priv_file(request):
if request.user.is_anonymous:
return render_to_response("goaway.html")
else:
path = "Path to file"
data = open(path)
type = "whatever"
return HttpResonse(data, content_type=type)

Hello everyone,
I am relatively new on Django, in fact I got to know about it through
Openstack Dashboard which works using Django. anyway I got a question
and I been looking for it for a month now without getting any good
results, I finally decided to ask some of the experts here. If I am
violating any rules by posting it or if someone has already answered
it, please tell me. I hope this community is friendly enough to
oversee this.
I have already a Django setup running (you guessed it devstack), and
it works fine. I have done plenty of editing already. But now I want
to add a download button on a page, and by clicking to it, a file
should be downloaded. Seems simple enough, but right now what I have
done is adding
<a href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/test.file" %}" class="btn-download">{% trans
"Downloadl" %}</a>
in one of the files. This works perfectly ... however this link works
but It is simple html encoding, and it works even when I am not logged
in, bypassing the entire purpose of file security. I have tried to
embed the code in some py files but then it gives me debug error.
So I will be really grateful if someone can guide me what to do here.
All I want is to add a download button/link on a page and a file to be
downloaded. I tried staticfiles and media_url methods, not the result
I want. Please help me that where I need to make changes in which
configuration files and how will it work.
Thanks in Advance
Best of Regards,
