Re: Where to put PDF files + how to authenticate the urls requesting them

Thanks for the reply, but I am still new to the web technology world, so I would like to fully use Django now before , moving to another ways to host my files.

Actually I am totally new to serving stuff, so if there is some best practice or that my way is totally wrong, please tell me.

So in short: is there a way to provide some kind of authentication against /static/whatever urls ? Because I want Django to host the file now

Also,  assuming I found someway to do this, django says that to mark a file as downloadable, we can do this 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#telling-the-browser-to-treat-the-response-as-a-file-attachment

>>> response = HttpResponse(my_data, content_type='application/vnd.ms-excel')  >>> response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="foo.xls"'

Now what is the type of my_data? any file object ?

Thanks a lot.
