[Zope] ZPublisher: How to set the mime header?

[Andy Smith]

I've been using this.... (Zope example but should work with ZServer)

It was fully expecting to have to mess about with headers to get browsers to
recognise the gif, but broswers seem to know a gif when they get one!

This example returns gifs in a browser when you do ....

http://mysite/renderGif

or even

<IMG src="renderGif">

(I'm fully prepared to admit there may be better ways of doing it) ;)_

Cheers,

Andy.

    def renderGif(self, size=500, counter=1):
        """Draw a pie chart"""
        im = PIL.Image.new('RGB', (size,size))

        # Do GIF manipulation stuff here!

        outFile = cStringIO.StringIO()
        im.save(outFile, 'GIF')

        outFile.seek(0)
        outString = outFile.read()
        return outString
