Using StaticFileHandler to host a file on Tornado Python

问题

Hi I am attempting to use StaticFileHandler in Tornado and for the most part its working, except its outputting the file (.csv) in a webpage when I click download. The only way I can save the file is Right clicking and saying save target as (but this doesn't work in all browsers).

How can I force the file to be downloaded? I know I need to somehow set the header of the StaticFileHandler like this:

    self.set_header('Content-Type','text-csv')
    self.set_header('Content-Disposition','attachment')

But I have no idea how to set it because it is a default handler.

Thanks for your time!

Extend the web.StaticFileHandler

class StaticFileHandler(web.StaticFileHandler):
    def get(self, path, include_body=True):
        if [some csv check]:
            # your code from above, or anything else custom you want to do
            self.set_header('Content-Type','text-csv')  
            self.set_header('Content-Disposition','attachment')

        super(StaticFileHandler, self).get(path, include_body)

Dont forget to use your extended class in the handler!
