Weird issue in outputting CSV files for downloading in django

Hi,

I want my view to respond with a file for downloading, so that the browser pops up the download/file save dialog.

I am using the 'Content-Disposition' header to specify the name of the file.

When I use the django development server, it works perfectly fine in all browsers

When I run it on production with apache mod_wsgi python3.5, on chrome it gives Failed - Network error. It doesn't work on firefox and IE as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

def download_function():
    filename = '/test/A.sv'
    download_name = "example.csv"
    with open(filename, 'r') as myfile:
        response = HttpResponse(myfile, content_type='text/csv')
        response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % download_name
        response['Content-Length'] = os.path.getsize(filename)
        return response

Thanks,

Bijal
