Currently, I have the following text file
(https://sites.google.com/site/yanchengcheok/Home/TEST.TXT?attredirects=0&d=1)
written by C++ wostringstream.
What I want to do it, I want to write a python script which accept user browser
request, and then send over the entire file for user to download. The
downloaded file, should be exactly same as the original text file inside server
itself.
The code is written as follow :
import cgi
print "Content-Type: text/plain"
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=TEST.txt"
print
filename = "C:\\TEST.TXT"
f = open(filename, 'r')
for line in f:
print line
However, when I open up the downloaded file, the file is all having weird
characters. I try to use rb flag, it doesn't either.
Is there anything I had missed out? What I wish is, the file (TEST.TXT)
downloaded by the client by making query to the above script, will be exactly
same as the one in server.
I also try to specific the encoding explicitly.
import cgi
print "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-16"
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=TEST.txt"
print
filename = "C:\\TEST.TXT"
f = open(filename, 'r')
for line in f:
print line.encode('utf-16')
It doesn't work either. Here is the screen shoot for original text file

Is there anything I had missed out?
