Comment (by semenov):
Yes it '''does''' describe the course of events.
Let me paste it again:
{{{
#!python
att = Attachment.objects.get()
return HttpResponse(content=att.file, mimetype=att.content_type)
}}}
I think that is ''perfectly normal'' piece of code. In my project, I have
the concept of attachments, and access to particular attachments depends
on the user logged in. Therefore, I need to proxy the download requests
via my custom view. In the model, I need to store the original
content_type to help the browser properly recognize it when downloading
(e.g., distinguish a text file from a HTML file).
For your reference, below is my model. As you can see, content_type is a
CharField, which is represented as a unicode object when accessed.
{{{
#!python
class Attachment(models.Model):
comment = models.ForeignKey(Comment)
file = models.FileField(upload_to='attachments')
filename = models.CharField(max_length=255)
content_type = models.CharField(max_length=255)
content_length = models.IntegerField()
}}}
