Re^2: Streaming data using dancer

It would be nice if that were the problem, however substituting:

    my $writer = $respond->(200, 
        [ 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="data.csv"' ]
+ );
[download]

with

    my $writer = $respond->([200, 
        [ 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="data.csv"' ]
+] );
[download]

or even just

    my $writer = $respond->([200, 
        ['Content-Type' => 'text']] );
[download]

still doesn't work (same error).

I wouldn't be suprised to have it be something so simple. Unfortunately, I've only found the one example in the documentation and it's a little sparse (IMO).

Yes it would have :) I see by override\|streaming&i=1&n=1&C=0 that dancer doesn't test interface, so its not surprising the documented examples don't work -- report bug upstream, http://www.perldancer.org/irc is usually occupied Also, you could try searching for examples on github, its not unheard of :)	[reply]

Found it! The problem was that, even though I'm over-riding things so that it is sending back the results of the loop rather than an actual file-system file, the file-system file has to exist and dancer needs to be able to access it. Rather than dropping a helpful error message along the lines of "file does not exist" it just gacked. We're happy now...	[reply]

Apparently you can also use `\'fake file'` with the contents being 'fake file' :)	[reply] [d/l]
