How to allow download of file via Apache with Django's permission?

Is there a way for Apache to allow or deny a file download after checking with Django for permission?

That is, I want the user to have a permission within Django to determine if the user has the rights to a file. And, if the user has the permission, Apache would start the file download. Or, if the permission is not set for that user, the开发者_如何学JAVA download is denied.

Thanks Eric

As you are using Apache, take a look to

• http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/apache-auth/

• http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/AccessControlMechanisms

I don't think it's possible like that. Why don't you serve the file through Django itself? See http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/365/

After more searching, I found this:

How to return static files passing through a view in django?

I think this is what I will do.

Thanks! :)
