HttpResponse methods difference

[Yarick Antonov]

What the difference between HttpResponse.Write(), HttpResponse.flush() and HttpResponse.tell() methods?

[ma...@tubeards.com]

As you see in: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/http/response.py#L370 all three methods have different usecases.

.write(string) <- adds content
.tell() <- returns the length of content
.flush() <- just passing, does nothing (since at lease v1.5)

Cheers

It's the same as python file objects

write sends data to the response

flush makes sure the data you wrote is actually getting sent out, not just buffered for alter

tell tells you how much data you've read or written. is where are you in the "file"
