Re: returning a zip file for download


OK, I got it working, I'm not sure what the problem was, but calling the loop variable 'file' was overriding the python default file object class

now I'm doing this:

        response = HttpResponse(File(file(tmp[1])), mimetype="application/zip")
        response['Content-disposition'] = ('attachment; '
                                           'filename="{}"').format(os.path.basename(tmp[1]))
        return response

and I'm wondering, what happens with that File object after the response is sent? when does it get closed? isn't there some cleanup code missing?
