How to stream an HttpResponse with Django
- by muudscope
I'm trying to get the 'hello world' of streaming responses working for Django (1.2). I figured out how to use a generator and the yield function. But the response still not streaming. I suspect there's a middleware that's mucking with it -- maybe ETAG calculator? But I'm not sure how to disable it. Can somebody please help?
Here's the "hello world" of streaming that I have so far:
def stream_response(request):
resp = HttpResponse( stream_response_generator())
return resp
def stream_response_generator():
for x in range(1,11):
yield "%s\n" % x # Returns a chunk of the response to the browser
time.sleep(1)
