Send_blob in GAE

i created zip files into the blobstore in GAE,then i tried to get(download)this zip file using this code:

def send_blob(blob_key_or_info, content_type=None, save_as=None):

    CONTENT_DISPOSITION_FORMAT = "attachment; filename=\"%s\""

    if isinstance(blob_key_or_info, blobstore.BlobInfo):
        blob_key = blob_key_or_info.key()
        blob_info = blob_key_or_info
    else:
        blob_key = blob_key_or_info
        blob_info = None
    if blob_info:
        content_type = content_type or mime_type(blob_info.filename)
        save_as = save_as or blob_info.filename
        #print save_as
    logging.debug(blob_info)
    response = Response()
    response.headers[blobstore.BLOB_KEY_HEADER] = str(blob_key)
    if content_type:
        if isinstance(content_type, unicode):
            content_type = content_type.encode("utf-8")
        response.headers["Content-Type"] = content_type
    else:
        del response.headers["Content-Type"]

    def send_attachment(filename):
        if isinstance(filename, unicode):
            filename = filename.encode("utf-8")
        response.headers["Content-Disposition"] = (\
            CONTENT_DISPOSITION_FORMAT % filename)
    if save_as:
        if isinstance(save_as, basestring):
            send_attachment(save_as)
        elif blob_info and save_as is True:
            send_attachment(blob_info.filename)
        else:
            if not blob_info:
                raise ValueError("Expected BlobInfo value for blob_key_or_info.")
            else:
                raise ValueError("Unexpected value for save_as")
    return response

and if i call this function in the main and print return return value from this function(response)i get for example: 200 OK Content-Length: 0 X-AppEngine-BlobKey: C25nn_O04JT0r8kwHeabDw== Content-Type: application/zip Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.zip" But the question how can i now use this response to get the file to my PC(download it)? Thanks in advance.

Well Google provides very good api to process BlobStore objects, mainly Two Clsses named as BlobstoreDownloadHandler and BlobstoreUploadHandler.

To download content try to use BlobstoreDownloadHandler and the below code help you to understand the concept.

    from google.appengine.ext.webapp import blobstore_handlers
    from google.appengine.ext.blobstore import BlobKey

    class VideoDownloadHelper(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreDownloadHandler):
        def get(self, blobkey):
            blobKey = BlobKey(blobkey)
            #content_type is optional and by default it is same as uploaded content's content-type.
            self.send_blob(blobKey, content_type="image/jpeg")

And this method can be use like

    app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([(r'/download-video/([^\.]+)', VideoDownloadHandler)])

For further reading you can go through this https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/blobstore/

You need to implement a Blobstore download handler to serve the file. For example:

from google.appengine.ext.webapp import blobstore_handlers

class ServeZip(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreDownloadHandler):
  def get(self):
    blob_key = self.request.get('key')
    if not blobstore.get(blob_key):
      logging.info('blobstore.get(%s) failed' % blob_key)
      self.error(404)
      return

    self.send_blob(blob_key)
    return

Then on the client you'd call: http://yourapp.appspot.com/servezip?key=<your_url_encoded_blob_key>

For the example above: http://yourapp.appspot.com/servezip?key=C25nn_O04JT0r8kwHeabDw%3D%3D
