Django 大文件下载

django提供文件下载时，若果文件较小，解决办法是先将要传送的内容全生成在内存中，然后再一次性传入Response对象中：

def simple_file_download(request):
	# do something...
	content = open("simplefile", "rb").read()
	return HttpResponse(content)

如果文件非常大时，最简单的办法就是使用静态文件服务器，比如Apache或者Nginx服务器来处理下载。不过有时候，我们需要对用户的权限做一下限定，或者不想向用户暴露文件的真实地址，或者这个大内容是临时生成的(比如临时将多个文件合并而成的)，这时就不能使用静态文件服务器了。

django文档中提到，可以向HttpResponse传递一个迭代器，流式的向客户端传递数据。

要自己写迭代器的话，可以用yield：

def read_file(filename, buf_size=8192):
    with open(filename, "rb") as f:
	while True:
	    content = f.read(buf_size)
	    if content:
		yield content
	    else:
		break
def big_file_download(request):
    filename = "filename"
    response = HttpResponse(read_file(filename))
    return response

或者使用生成器表达式，下面是django文档中提供csv大文件下载的例子：

import csv

from django.utils.six.moves import range
from django.http import StreamingHttpResponse

class Echo(object):
    """An object that implements just the write method of the file-like
    interface.
    """
    def write(self, value):
        """Write the value by returning it, instead of storing in a buffer."""
        return value

def some_streaming_csv_view(request):
    """A view that streams a large CSV file."""
    # Generate a sequence of rows. The range is based on the maximum number of
    # rows that can be handled by a single sheet in most spreadsheet
    # applications.
    rows = (["Row {0}".format(idx), str(idx)] for idx in range(65536))
    pseudo_buffer = Echo()
    writer = csv.writer(pseudo_buffer)
    response = StreamingHttpResponse((writer.writerow(row) for row in rows),
                                     content_type="text/csv")
    response[‘Content-Disposition‘] = ‘attachment; filename="somefilename.csv"‘
    return response

python也提供一个文件包装器，将类文件对象包装成一个迭代器：

class FileWrapper:
    """Wrapper to convert file-like objects to iterables"""

    def __init__(self, filelike, blksize=8192):
        self.filelike = filelike
        self.blksize = blksize
        if hasattr(filelike,‘close‘):
            self.close = filelike.close

    def __getitem__(self,key):
        data = self.filelike.read(self.blksize)
        if data:
            return data
        raise IndexError

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def next(self):
        data = self.filelike.read(self.blksize)
        if data:
            return data
        raise StopIteration

使用时：

from django.core.servers.basehttp import FileWrapper
from django.http import HttpResponse
import os
def file_download(request,filename):

    wrapper = FileWrapper(file(‘filepath‘))
    response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type=‘application/octet-stream‘)
    response[‘Content-Length‘] = os.path.getsize(path)
    response[‘Content-Disposition‘] = ‘attachment; filename=%s‘ % filename
    return response

django也提供了StreamingHttpResponse类来代替HttpResponse对流数据进行处理。

压缩为zip文件下载：

import os, tempfile, zipfile
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.core.servers.basehttp import FileWrapper
def send_zipfile(request):
    """
    Create a ZIP file on disk and transmit it in chunks of 8KB,
    without loading the whole file into memory. A similar approach can
    be used for large dynamic PDF files.
    """
    temp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
    archive = zipfile.ZipFile(temp, ‘w‘, zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    for index in range(10):
        filename = __file__ # Select your files here.
        archive.write(filename, ‘file%d.txt‘ % index)
    archive.close()
    wrapper = FileWrapper(temp)
    response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type=‘application/zip‘)
    response[‘Content-Disposition‘] = ‘attachment; filename=test.zip‘
    response[‘Content-Length‘] = temp.tell()
    temp.seek(0)
    return response

不过不管怎么样，使用django来处理大文件下载都不是一个很好的注意，最好的办法是django做权限判断，然后让静态服务器处理下载。

这需要使用sendfile的机制："传统的Web服务器在处理文件下载的时候，总是先读入文件内容到应用程序内存，然后再把内存当中的内容发送给客户端浏览器。这种方式在应付当今大负载网站会消耗更多的服务器资源。sendfile是现代操作系统支持的一种高性能网络IO方式，操作系统内核的sendfile调用可以将文件内容直接推送到网卡的buffer当中，从而避免了Web服务器读写文件的开销，实现了“零拷贝”模式。 "

Apache服务器里需要mod_xsendfile模块来实现，而Nginx是通过称为X-Accel-Redirect的特性来实现。

nginx配置文件：

# Will serve /var/www/files/myfile.tar.gz
# When passed URI /protected_files/myfile.tar.gz
location /protected_files {
	internal;
	alias /var/www/files;
}

或者

# Will serve /var/www/protected_files/myfile.tar.gz
# When passed URI /protected_files/myfile.tar.gz
location /protected_files {
	internal;
	root /var/www;
}

注意alias和root的区别。

django中：

response[‘X-Accel-Redirect‘]=‘/protected_files/%s‘%filename

这样当向django view函数发起request时，django负责对用户权限进行判断或者做些其它事情，然后向nginx转发url为/protected_files/filename的请求，nginx服务器负责文件/var/www/protected_files/filename的下载：

@login_required
def document_view(request, document_id):
    book = Book.objects.get(id=document_id)
    response = HttpResponse()
    name=book.myBook.name.split(‘/‘)[-1]
    response[‘Content_Type‘]=‘application/octet-stream‘
    response["Content-Disposition"] = "attachment; filename={0}".format(
            name.encode(‘utf-8‘))
    response[‘Content-Length‘] = os.path.getsize(book.myBook.path)
    response[‘X-Accel-Redirect‘] = "/protected/{0}".format(book.myBook.name)
    return response
