Description
In documentation:
- examples for X-Sendfile are not clear (include directive references wrong code)
- what URL middlewares catches and what URL it passes as X-Senfile header should be explained.
As an example:
- given
settings.MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
- given a model with
file = models.FileField(upload_to='documents')
. It will havefile.url
prefixed with MEDIA_URL and UPLOAD_TO, i.e./media/documents/
in our example. - given
source_url
is"/media/documents/"
, middleware will catch DownloadResponse where file.url starts with"/media/documents/"
, such as"/media/documents/sample-filename.pdf"
=> middleware will send "/sample-filename.pdf" to x-sendfile - given
destination_url
is"/var/lib/media/documents"
(notice no trailing backslash) => x-sendfile value will be/var/lib/media/documents/sample-filename.txt
- in general,
destination_url
should match one value configured asXSendFilePath
in Apache configuration.
