This is my controller's code, that handles requests on following URL: /app/invoices/download/<id> for instance:
/app/invoices/download/10 to download bundle of invoices, which ID is equal to 10 def download(): url_parts = request.url.split('/') bundle_id = url_parts[-1] try: bundle_id = int(bundle_id) except ValueError: raise HTTP(404) dir_with_id = os.path.join(BUNDLES_DIR, str(bundle_id)) dir_content = [f for f in os.listdir(dir_with_id) if f.endswith('.zip') and os.path.isfile(os.path.join(dir_with_id, f))] if len(dir_content) != 1: raise HTTP(404) bundle_file = dir_content[0] bundle_file_path = os.path.join(dir_with_id, bundle_file) print bundle_file return response.stream(bundle_file_path, chunk_size=10**6, filename= bundle_file,) print bundle_file prints filename with file extension, for instance: bundle_xyz.zip , but I end up downloading a file called: <id>.zip , where <id> comes from the URL. This <id> is also the name of the directory that *bundle_xyz.zip* file is located in, for instance: /bundles/10/bundle_xyz.zip , after requesting /app/invoices/download/10 I end up downloading *10.zip* instead of *bundle_xyz.zip*. My question is how to prevent web2py's response.stream method from changing the filename? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
