Zope 2.8.0, Python 2.3.5
I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to zip up some files in my zope instance and return them to the user. I can sucessfully create a zip file on the local file system, but if I try to pass it back to the user it is corrupted. Of course I'd rather not create this tmp3.zip file, so if there's a way around that (which I'm sure there is!) please do let me know.
filename = 'test.zip' response = self.REQUEST.RESPONSE response.setHeader('Content-Type','application/zip') response.setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment; filename=%s' % filename) # tried zf = zipfile.ZipFile( response, 'w' ) but get error, ZHTTP object doesn't have tell method zf = zipfile.ZipFile( '/tmp3.zip', 'w' ) zf.writestr( 'testfilename', str( self._getOb( testfileid ) ) ) zf.close() f = open('/tmp3.zip') return f.read()
Any thoughts on what fairly obvious thing I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
A couple of thoughts: - Be sure you open the file in binary mode ('wb' rather than 'w'); this won't help unless you are running Zope on Windows, however, because Windows is the only platform where the C runtime will mangle the line endings for files it thinks are "text", rather than "binary". - You could use a StringIO instance, rather than a tempfile; YMMV.
