Hi everybody,

I'm making my first website with Django (also my first website ever). I've 
successfully gotten a web app that takes user data, uses that to make a 
query, and the outputs a CSV file. However, what I'd really like is to 
output an HDF5 file. I googled around and there doesn't seem to be any 
documentation on outputting an HD5F file from a Django web app. I tried 
adapting the Django example of outputting a PDF (
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/outputting-pdf/) like this,

response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/hdf5')
> response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="test.hdf5"'
>
> h = h5py.File(response)
> h.create_dataset('Name', data=test[0].name)
>
>
but I get an error,

'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'encode'

 So I guess I'm misunderstanding how to use content_type in Django's 
HttpResponse. Does anybody have any experience with outputting HDF5 files 
form a Django web app or could help clarify how I might adapt the 
HttpResponse to work with HDF5?
