not exactly, the idea is that the file isn't under apache's
DocumentRoot, so it won't have it's own URL. instead, you have your
Django view that would serve the file by reading it and stuffing the
data in the HttpResponse object. something like that:
def servefile(request):
--- verify that the user is allowed ---
data = open('filepathname').read()
return HttpResponse (data)
but that makes Django serve the data itself, not a good situation.
so, stop short of actually reading the file, and tell apache to to it:
def servefile(request):
-- verify that the user is allowed ---
resp = HttpResponse ()
resp['X-SendFile'] = 'filepathname'
return resp
note, i've done this with NginX (which uses 'X-Accelerate' instead of
'X-SendFile'), but i've heard it works on Apache too
