Flask/Werkzeug how to attach HTTP content-length header to file download
I am using Flask (based on Werkzeug) which uses Python. The user can download a file, I'm using the send_from_directory -function . However when actually downloading the file, the HTTP header content-length is not set. So the user has no idea how big the file being downloaded is. I can use os.path.getsize(FILE_LOCATION) in Python to get the file size (in bytes), but cannot find a way to set the content-length header in Flask. Any ideas? I believe you'd do something like this (untested): from flask import Response response = Response() response.headers.add('content-length', str(os.path.getsize
