Is it possible to do a response.stream in the middle of an ajax callback? I want to give users a button, which if pressed, will tar up all their files and initiate a download. Something like this:
TAG.BUTTON(..., _onclick="ajax("%s", [], ':eval');" % URL(c='mycontroller', f='mydownload')) Then later, in mycontroller.py, def mydownload(): ... create tarfile ... return response.stream(tarfile, attachment=True) I tried it, but (perhaps obviously to some) it doesn't work. So, how to get the mydownload() action to cause the browser to download the tarfile? --
