Hi, I have a django 'files' app that simply maps 'virtual' file names to physical files for downloading.
Currently, I'm getting the view to return a HttpResponseRedirect to a 'files' area, but I don't like this as it means the files are 'publicly' available and I'd like everything to go through the Django view. I couldn't find a 'HttpResponseStaticFile' class or anything, so what other options do I have? Can I just 'print' the file in the download script and return 'null' from the view or something? Another possiblity would be to bypass the Django url scheme and set up apache to run the download script directly via mod_python and again just 'print' the file, but I'd rather everything went through Django if possible. Also, how efficient would it be to send a file via python? I'm currently doing this with php on another site and it works OK, but it doesn't 'feel' right! What I kind of need is something like a 'private redirect' - ie: I want apache to do 'serve' the file, but I don't want the client to know about the redirect. Bye!
