I'm new to mod_python, but it is documented to be able to do /anything/ that could be a response from Apache. If the handler were to fetch the data itself it could write a local file and also return the data to the client, by calling urlopen() and then read(), write(), and req.write() repeatedly. I don't know if the reads and writes will overlap. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
