Django as S3 proxy
- by schneck
Hi there,
I extended a ModelAdmin with a custom field "Download file", which is a link to a URL in my Django project, like:
http://www.myproject.com/downloads/1
There, I want to serve a file which is stored in a S3-bucket. The files in the bucket are not public readable, and the user may not have direct access to it. Now I want to
avoid that the file has to be loaded in the server memory (these are multi-gb-files)
avoid to have temp files on the server
The ideal solution would be to let django act as a proxy that streams S3-chunks directly to the user. I use boto, but did not find a possibility to stream the chunks.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
