I sent from my wifes email
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/fe85dca9e48c79ad
However with hindsight I think I did not give sufficient information
in my forum entry. I guess I was seeing if other people had had
problems with downloading zip files.
Today, I just tried the following
def downloady():
import os
import contenttype as c
path="somepath/album.zip"
response.headers['Content-Type'] = c.contenttype(path)
response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename=album.zip'# to force download as attachment
return response.stream(open(path,'rb'),chunk_size=4096)
and this did work correctly. So I do not know why I was having
problems last month, when I repeatedly had problems with downloaded
zip files not unzipping.
So I aplogise for suggesting there was a bug here. I will see if I can
recreate the problems I was having and get to the root cause.
