copied!<p>For the "best of both worlds" you could combine S.Lott's solution with the <a href="http://www.google.com.ng/search?q=mod_xsendfile&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a" rel="noreferrer">xsendfile module</a>: django generates the path to the file (or the file itself), but the actual file serving is handled by Apache/Lighttpd. Once you've set up mod_xsendfile, integrating with your view takes a few lines of code:</p> <pre><code>from django.utils.encoding import smart_str response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/force-download') # mimetype is replaced by content_type for django 1.7 response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % smart_str(file_name) response['X-Sendfile'] = smart_str(path_to_file) # It's usually a good idea to set the 'Content-Length' header too. # You can also set any other required headers: Cache-Control, etc. return response </code></pre> <p>Of course, this will only work if you have control over your server, or your hosting company has mod_xsendfile already set up.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>mimetype is replaced by content_type for django 1.7</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/force-download' </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> For <code>nginx</code> check <a href="https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/xsendfile/" rel="noreferrer">this</a>, it uses <code>X-Accel-Redirect</code> instead of <code>apache</code> X-Sendfile header.</p>
