Hi Malcolm!
Actually I tried the following (and gave Ned credit for solving half of my
problem):
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
import urllib
def front(request):
sock =
urllib.urlopen("/home2/a12007/webapps/officeprofiler/profiler/templates/officechoice.html")
html = sock.read()
sock.close()
return HttpResponse(html)
def officereport(request):
selected_choice = request.POST['office']
sock =
urllib.urlopen("/home2/a12007/webapps/officeprofiler/profiler/"+selected_choice)
html = sock.read()
sock.close()
# response = HttpResponse(pdfbytes, mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename='+selected_choice
return response
When I comment out the attachment statement, so the pdf is to be viewed, it
doesn't work. However, when I comment out the non-attachment version, I get
the download box. That is why previously I said that it solved half of my
problem.
That is the case at WebFaction hosting. When I am at work on a Linux server
there it tells me that "pdfbytes" is undefined.
So I am not sure what to do at this stage.
Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers!
-Warren
