Hi, I tried the @service.csv example in the book and it does return values, but they are not in the form of a url but a download. I wonder if this is the expected behavior? I am using mac os. When I enter the path to the url including values, the system immediately returns the downloads interface and presents a file. From reading the manual, it looks like the service is supposed to render the values as a url?
all I did was copy and paste the example into the default.py controller and run the suggested call to the service. What am I doing wrong? thanks On Monday, June 24, 2013 3:12:15 PM UTC-5, Anthony wrote: > > Do you want to embed the data in the page, or do you want to serve it as a > CSV file?
