Update cookbook/streaming_large_files: Remove chunked for WSGI deployed applications

Streaming a large file using chunked worked fine when ran directly through webpy's built-in server, but when deployed in Apache using mod_wsgi it failed with an IOError. I found this similar issue report and can confirm it works without setting the chunked transfer header:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11866333/ioerror-when-trying-to-serve-file

Could you update the documentation to either remove the mention of chunked, or specify in which exclusive cases to use the chunked header?

Would be good if you open a paypal donation icon on site.

solely nginx compatible web.py

I just deployed an app on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine following this guide http://webpy.org/cookbook/fastcgi-nginx

Although the app works but it seems the guide is very old as flup link is not working. It also looks like spawn-fcgi is not in active development and soon will be deprecated. I was wondering if web.py can run on bare nginx?

I don't like to use spawn-fcgi and flup just don't make sense. Why not add flup and spawn-fcgi into web.py itself?

How to share session in the child application?

The version of official cookbook is still 0.3 but I use the latest 0.61.When I learn how to share session in the child application, the solution given by official cookbook can't work. For example, after I used "session = web.ctx.session" in the child application, it reported an error as "AttributeError: 'ThreadedDict' object has no attribute 'session'" .It just did't share the session at all.
What should I do?

Pictures... any examples of all this cool stuff

It's great to hear of a python based web platform, but unless you are a seasoned developer or can translate what code generates... the rest of us have little to no idea what it makes.

Can you post photos of the webpage it makes, examples of what it looks like? Screenshots of a web.py project that showcases how its easier or better to use vs what Django might be used in error to create.

one of the site references in the doc seems to contain malware

Update "Who uses web.py" section on homepage

I just proposed an update to the Oyster.com entry because of I have knowledge of that. However, several of the other items are out of date (I believe).

Frinki.com doesn't lead anywhere, except some spammy-looking redirect pages.

Some of the other items feel out of date to me (they haven't been updated in a long time). And I wonder if we could add other highish-profile websites by now?

Thanks in advance!

use objects global to the application in requests

Recently, I've struggled a bit to find a way to initialize an object at application level and use it at request level.

Following an answer to the same question on SO, I finally used web.config.

It looks like this:

class Foo:
	def GET(self):
		bar = web.config.bar
		r = bar.something()
		return r

if __name__ == "__main__":
	web.config.bar = Bar()
	app = web.application(urls, globals())
	app.run()

I don't know if it the right way to do it. Nevertheless, IMHO, this use case should be documented in the very usefull "cookbook" section. And web.config should be documented in "API Reference" section.

http://webpy.org/docs/0.3/tutorial doesn't show up

But http://webpy.org/docs/0.3/tutorial.md does. Not sure why.

Error when doing Django style multiple apps with web.py

When following the tutorial Django style multiple apps with web.py, I alway get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run.py", line 11, in <module>
    delegate.run(mapping)
  File "/home/siongui/dev/test/delegate.py", line 31, in run
    web.run(handler, {})
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'run'

My scripts are the same as those in the tutorial. Could you please help fix this?

Add warning about using transfer-encoding header

On this page, it mentions that adding the Transfer-Encoding: chunked header is necessary for streaming files. This is misleading, as in some cases the header is added automatically. I haven't had time yet to investigate which scenarios result in it being added automatically. However, if it is added twice, some problems can occur in python clients. Specifically I noticed the problem using the requests library. While the download worked properly through chrome, it did not work correctly in python.

This document should be fixed to avoid misleading future developers.

SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

https://webpy.org/ (https) says it has a bad certificate, probably because of mismatch of domain.

Nginx suggested config is not in the install page

Hi all:

In the install page, there are 3 different setups: with the dev server, with Apache and with Lighttpd. The information related to Nginx configuration is in the Cookbook:

http://webpy.org/cookbook/mod_wsgi-nginx
http://webpy.org/cookbook/fastcgi-nginx

Maybe we should validate that info and merge it into the Install page, or at least include some reference to Nginx.

In the cookbook/session.md ,the program throwed an error and said the threaddict object has no attribute 'count'

In the cookbook/session.md
I think this code :

class count:
    def GET(self):
        session.count += 1
        return str(session.count)

should be written as

class count:
    def GET(self):
        session['count'] += 1
        return str(session['count'])

to make the session object works.

cookie_path missing from WSGI documentation

Hello,

The sample code for sessions with WSGI should read:

app = web.application(urls, globals())

curdir = os.path.dirname(file)
web.config.session_parameters['cookie_path'] = '/'
session = web.session.Session(app, web.session.DiskStore(os.path.join(curdir,'sessions')),)

application = app.wsgifunc()

I found this solution on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22076781/web-py-sessions-renew-every-reload-under-apache-cgi-wsgi

Thanks,
Mark
