python - Django Serving a Download File

Question

I'm trying to serve a txt file generated with some content and i am having some issues. I'vecreated the temp files and written the content using NamedTemporaryFile and just set delete to false to debug however the downloaded file does not contain anything.

My guess is the response values are not pointed to the correct file, hense nothing is being downloaded, heres my code:

    f = NamedTemporaryFile()
    f.write(p.body)

    response = HttpResponse(FileWrapper(f), mimetype='application/force-download')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=test-%s.txt' % p.uuid
    response['X-Sendfile'] = f.name

Answer 1

Have you considered just sending p.body through the response like this:

response = HttpResponse(mimetype='text/plain')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s.txt"' % p.uuid
response.write(p.body)
