A straightforward use of a series of request.write()s with a request.finish() in the render_GET() method of a resource defaults to chunked encoding. I can avoid the chunked encoding by computing the entire response first using a StringIO (as shown below) and explicitly putting the "Content-Length" header in myself.

Is this the best (or recommended) way to create such a response?

Thx - Tom

=============

class myresource(Resource):

def render_GET(self, response): output = StringIO.StringIO() output.write("...") output.write("...") ...

data = output.getvalue() output.close()

# Write the response data. "content-length" suppresses chunked coding request.setHeader('content-length', len(data)) request.write(data) request.finish() return True
