Download inside component

[LaDarrius Stewart]

Currently have a modal being filled by the following code....

            links=[lambda row: BUTTON('Apply Payment',

                            _onclick="web2py_component('%s', 'modalinfo');" % \

                                     URL('default', 'applypayment2.load', args=row.Inv_Header.id),

                            **{'_data-toggle': 'modal',  '_data-target' : '#myModal',

                               '_class' : 'two btn btn-success', '_id' : 'show'})]

Inside this modal I have a submit button with a call to a ReportLab method that returns a response.stream. Within the modal it returns the raw PDF data(garbage) instead of initiating the automatic download as the same code does on non-component views.

Maybe have a look at this: http://johnculviner.com/jquery-file-download-plugin-for-ajax-like-feature-rich-file-downloads/

I use that jquery plugin and it is very good.  Note that you need to set cookies within the download function, something  like this...

    response.cookies['fileDownload'] = 'true'
    response.cookies['fileDownload']['path'] = "/"
