Maybe... but there's a *lot* more going on in that patch that I don't understand. There seems to be no documentation so I'm having to puzzle through the patch -- all this prepare_upload stuff, backends, serve_file indirection just confuses me. Not to mention this new "form traits" mechanism I don't quite get, either. I think the big difference between my proposal and this patch is that my way should be doable without a patch to Django. That is, no new setting, no internals changes, etc. -- it should all be possible with a HttpResponse subclass and a set of middleware. I'm not quite sure what all the additionally complication your patch gains. Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
