Binary file download

bottle, python, web-services

Solution

Yes, you should use `static_file` function:

from bottle import static_file    

@route('/download/<filename:path>')
def download(filename):
    return static_file(filename, root='/path/to/static/files', download=filename)

Problem

I'm building a server using python and bottle. How can I handle a request for a binary file? I have read that I should use flask. There is a way for doing that without using flask?
