How to use a report from a view inside another view in Django?
you could always keep the files, and have a cron job that deletes files whose session has expired
I have a form where I upload a file, and I generate a report out of it. The thing is, I would also like to make the report available for download, as an archive. I would like to somehow include the CSS and the JS ( that I inherit from my layout ) inside the report, but I don't really know how to go about this.
So far, I am not storing the file ( the report's being generated from ) on server side, I delete it after I'm done with it.
The only solution I could think of so far, was: from my archive generating view, use urllib to post to the form generating the report, save the response, and just rewrite the links to the stylesheet/JS files.
Is there a simpler way to go about this? Is there a way to keep some files on server side as long as the client's session lives?
