Thanks this was my understanding. It looks like i have to route the
url to view and thn make a call urlopen().read() to fetch the file
from different server.

Hi,
Can someone please
explicitly specify what needs to go in MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT and
how does urls.py routes to a cross domain media server. I am not
interested in any local directory structure to accomplish this task
because that is insecure and inefficient. Any help would be
appreciated.
It doesn't do what you're thinking it does. ``settings.MEDIA_ROOT``
tells Django where the media is going to be stored if you use Django's
storage API for uploads, etc. ``settings.MEDIA_URL`` is what you use
to generate URLs for media (eg, ``<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/logo.jpg"
alt="Logo" />``). Django doesn't take the two settings and some how
magically route incoming traffic on ``settings.MEDIA_URL`` and route
it to ``settings.MEDIA_ROOT``, and certainly not when your media is on
a separate server, and you're right, that would be insecure to do. If
you want to server static media from the same server during dev, you
could do something like this:
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
# Static Media (development only)
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{
'document_root': 'C:/path/to/my_media'
}
)
)
Then your media could be served via http://localhost:8080/static/logo.jpg
Remember to only do this during dev as it's not secure or scalable.
