Re: Django login twice required when using xsendfile with apache

and another issue: using apache, even when the user is logged in and is_staff, he is redirected to the login page, and he needs to login to download the file, and this continues on.

Hi

I am using apache2 server with xsend file to protect against static files, the python view is:

@staff_member_required

def media_xsendfile(request, path, document_root):

    print "is staff",request.user.is_staff

    response = HttpResponse()

    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment'

    response['X-Sendfile'] = (os.path.join(document_root, path)).encode('utf-8')

    return response

and in apache httpd.conf

XSendFile on

XSendFilePath /path/to/files/

If the user is not a staff member, he is redirected correctly to the login page and once he login, the file is download, this is only in the local development server, however when I use apache server, after the first login nothing happens (the login page is still there) and he has to login again.for the file to be downloaded.

Any clue ?

Thanks
