"save as" python script

1 New Member
I have a script "licence.cg i" write in python which generate text files and I would like that the user click on a button and he can download this file.

_1er solution:_
I found in my research that I have to add the Content-Disposition... So I created an other script call /download.cgi /and I obtain a popup "save as" but how the script "licence.cg i" can give the variable filename to the script download.cgi?

-----------------------------------------------------------*_
licence.cgi
_*print "Content-type: text/html"
print
...
filename="/var/www/licence/licence-20070511-152214"
...
print '<form name="input" action=%s method="POST">< INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="VIEW the file"></form>' %filename
print '<form method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/downloadfile.cg i"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="DOWNLOAD the file"></form>'
...

-----------------------------------------------------------
download.cgi
#!/usr/bin/python

import string, sys
import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= %s " %filename
print "Content-Type: application/text"
print

try:
fp=open(licence file, "r")
content = fp.read()
print content
except:
print "Couldn't find the file."
-----------------------------------------------------------
_
2 solution:_
I would like to have only one script, only "licence.cg i". How can I do ?


Thanks you very much for your help

I have a resume in PDF format and I want anyone who LEFT-OR-RIGHT clicks the link to force the file to be saved, and in any event _not_ opened. Since the PDF will be in his cache in any event, I would just as soon place the employer in control of what directory he wishes to save it in, and there are two salient reasons for this: 1. I want him to OWN the document 2. I want him to FIND the document, quickly, on his hard drive In any...

We are a state agency that views protected medical information via our intranet. The screens even have privacy shields.

Hi there! I am using the "shelve" module in a script to save information in between runtime sessions of the program. (its a sort of data collector, so its important to hold on to anything computed ). In any case, I shelve into a file "test.txt". I notice that when i try running the program on a different computer (by either emailing or transfering the file "test.txt" via USB key), the program is unable to load the shelve file. What can...

since choice of dbm used by shelve http://docs.python.org/lib/node327.html depends on os, and whats available on it, shevle files saved on one os, most likely do not work on another os, sometimes on similar os but different machines might not work either - goes back to what's available on that machine. inter operability of shelve files with similar os-es works! yes I had used it.

Hello, I'm trying to find out in a script where the location of the current python is. (I'm writing an installer script in python for a simple server application, so i'm going to do a find-replace in a bunch of files to give them the absolute path of the python binary. One thought might be to use the subprocess module, run "which python" as a subprocess, and then peek at stdout, but that seems way too complicated. Is there a simple...
