I want users to be able to download file from my django web app. I wrote the below codes, but when I download a file, the file will turn into an error file. It won't open and the total size of the file would be 0 bytes.
Models: class Emov(models.Model): User=models.ForeignKey(User) mov_file=models.FileField(upload_to='miiv') mov_name=models.CharField(max_length=50) email=models.EmailField() #email of the uploader download_count=models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) #other fields follows @property def pretty_name(self): return "{0}.{1}".format(slugify(self.title), os.path.splitext(self.mov_name.name)[1]) Views: def document_view(request,emov_id): fileload=Emovl.objects.get(id=emov_id) response=HttpResponse() response["Content-Disposition"]= "attachment; filename={0}".format( fileload.pretty_name) response['X-Accel-Redirect']="/protected/{0}".format(fileload.mov_name.name) return response Nginx location /protected/ { internal; root /C:/Python27/Scripts/env/Scripts/digi/media/miiv/; } What am I missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
