[Twisted-Python] Sending jpeg data over TCP/IP

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hello again,
I've just read the HTTP PUT proposal email. I think it's a great idea.
Avoid reinventing the wheel, whenever possible !
Alternatively, sending only the file name could work if the client
then GET the file from an HTTP server that serves static files.

Using Nevow:
from nevow import static
...
self.child_files = static.File(self.static_files_path)

(see my media RSS server in
http://bitbucket.org/aalex/toonfeed/src/tip/toonfeed/web.py ... which
is not in a working state right now)

How can I server static files like this, not using nevow?

One way would be to prepend an identifier to the file,strip the header from the raw data on reception and then save the image. I dont think its complicated. I may need a seperate server to handle the files though.
