To return a pdf , simply open and .read() the data into a buffer, then
return the buffer directly
class download:
def POST(self):
web.header('Content-Type', 'application/pdf')
web.header('Content-Disposition,'filename=test.pdf')
#This is inefficient!!! Don't .read() the file every request in
production!!
data = open('/home/shawn/test', 'rb').read()
return data
