Do you really need to store the image in the DB? If the same placeholder
is used for everyone (until they upload), just having a flag saying "use
placeholder" might be enough. Also, a normal upload field is a filename
(the obfuscated one); you could put the static path in the field. In
either case, download() changes from the example code to checking either
the flag or the path to see where to get the image to stream.
If you are using something other than a "normal upload" field, please show
your model.
