Django 1.5 - using the new StreamingHttpResponse
django, django-views
Solution
[OP's solution converted to answer below]
Pavel's comment pointed out that the problem with my example was with the browser's buffering, which is solved by modifying the amount of data sent, as e.g.
yield '{} <br /> {}'.format(x, ' '*1024)
Problem
If I implement `StreamingHttpResponse` as shown here, the 'streaming' response is not shown until the 10 seconds is up. There isn't much information on djangoproject except saying it's useful for generating large CSV files while warning that expensive tasks should be performed outside of the request-response cycle. However, I cannot see that it is working at all using time-intensive code. Is there something about the generator object that prevents this? Here is the code duplicated for reference. ``` import time from django.http import StreamingHttpResponse def stream_response(request): resp = StreamingHttpResponse(stream_response_generator()) return resp def stream_response_generator(): for x in range(1,11): yield '{} <br />\n'.format(x) time.sleep(1) ```
