[web2py] Re: How to make a function to download a file?

[Anthony]

I literally copied your exact code (just had to hard-code the filename):

def download():
        response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/csv'
        attachment = 'attachment;filename=data.csv'
        response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = attachment
        content = '....,....,....'
        raise HTTP(200,str(content),
                   **{'Content-Type':'text/csv',
                      'Content-Disposition':attachment + ';'})

Then I entered that URL in my browser and I got the CSV file download, with 
the content as above.
