Hi, it was hard to find the right subject. Let me explain what I want to do.
I write a web application with Django. I have some forms to upload content and some forms to download content. Sometimes the content is just a string (than it will be stored in a database) but sometimes the content is a (large) file. Than the file will be stored to a distributed file system running in the background. Uploading the files is not a problems. First Django stores the file to a local directory of the server and than it get moved to the distributed file system. Not really nifty but I couldn't find a solution to stream the data directly to the distributed file system. But the really hard part is the download. How do I serve this files back to the user? Sure, I could do the same as I do for upload: First download the files from the distributed file system to the local file system and than serve it to the users. But when has the user finished the download and I can remove the local copy of the file? Just to mention one open question. I hope I could describe my problem in an understandable way. What would be a good way to serve internal files to a user? Is it possible to pipe the files directly from the distributed file system to the user?
