An HttpResponse can contain whatever you like - it doesn't just have to return HTML. So you can use it quite happily to return raw JPG or PNG or whatever you want. Just set the mimetype to the correct type when you initialise it. Also remember that HttpResponse is a file-like object, so you can pass it into anything that expects to write to a file. Here for example is a very old post by Jacob that shows how to use this to produce dynamic graphical headlines: http://jacobian.org/writing/improved-text-image-view/ -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
