Need Help in downloading a file from server

[ravi]

Hi,

I am trying to download a file from server like this

response.headers['Content-Type'] =  'text/csv'

response.headers['Content-disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=suggest.csv'

fapp = FileApp(<Full File Path>)

return fapp(request.environ, self.start_response)

But i am getting trying to download a file from server like this 

"Method Not Allowed

The method POST is not allowed for this resource.\r\nYou cannot POST a file

WSGI Server"

Please help me 

Thanks

It looks more like you are sending a POST request to download a file. POST is for requests that modify server state. Use GET since downloading a file does not.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the reply. I can not use GET method as i want to pass huge data to the server. 

Right now what i am doing is first sending the POST request and getting response as file path. next sending a GET request in success callback function to get the data.

But here the problem i am facing is csv file ouput is not in correct format. all rows data coming in single line. 

Could you please suggest me in this issue

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi Kumar

That could be a text encoding issue. The single line could be - for
example , but my guess - because you are on a Windows machine but
instead of creating \r\n newlines, your app is just creating \n . You
also could not be escaping the newlines correctly -- i noticed your
error has the characters '\r\n'.

Newline in different operating systems:
\r\n = Windows
\n = Unix
\r = Mac
