Hi all,
Just to let you know that there's an X-Sendfile implementation for
WSGI apps (inc. Django), which also works with Nginx:
https://launchpad.net/wsgi-xsendfile
You can use it in Django views via twod.wsgi. For example:
"""
from twod.wsgi import call_wsgi_app
from xsendfile import NginxSendfile
file_sender = NginxSendfile('/var/www/docs')
file_sender_wsgi_app = XSendfileApplication('/media/documents',
file_sender)
def django_view(request, article_id):
article = Article.objects.get(article_id)
if it's foggy:
doc_response = call_wsgi_app(
file_sender_wsgi_app,
request,
article.path,
)
else:
doc_response = HttpResponseForbidden()
return doc_response
"""
That package is pretty stable, the only thing it's missing is
documentation which should be sorted soon.
Cheers.
- Gustavo.
