Thanks for the answers Anthony, I am going to try to report a bug. I am using web2py 2.4.6-stable+timestamp.2013.04.06.17.37.38 the source version, on mac os and
when I copy and paste the csv as a service example from the book section on Remote procedure calls, to the default.py in the welcome application, and then run the example to show the service, which I think is supposed to echo, hello world 1,2 instead the application opens my Download application and creates a download file containing the hello world 1,2. I am reporting this because I think the browser instead is supposed to display the text. How do I fix this please? The json as a web service works fine. thanks, Margaret I will look on github to see where to report the possible bug.
