[web2py] inline SVG images with response.download(request,db)

[selecta]

I want to display an image like is is described in the image blog
example from the book, however it does not work since the SVG image is
returned as a download not an inline image.
I know that this default option is good for some browsers but in my
application I want the SVG to appear as an image in the html.
Is there a solution to that e.g. response.download(request,db,
inline=True)?
