Django seems to be able to read and write the file. In flush() in socket.py the final buffer to flush has the correct size. Please tell me that this isn't a general Python error. It should be possible to write a 230MB file into a socket. Still, it might be better if serve() would *not* try to read in everything at once and then write everything but stream the file in smaller chunks."		closed	HTTP handling	dev		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	1	0	0
