@YiJunJun what is the issue?

@tilgovi ping

The issue comes from the removal of the fileobject testing:
18d2b92#diff-0b90f794c3e9742c45bf484505e3db8dL520

I am really not sure we shouldn't be strict there and only accept fileobjects providing a fileno method or attribute

@YiJunJun in the mean time why do you want to use sendfile here? Why not simply returning an iterator (the StringIO would be enough). Gunicorn will stream it.

I can solve this problem.I just want to report a problem.Thank you for your answer.

Got the same issue. Wonder if it can't be caught more softly.

[volnt]

Got the same problem here too. How can this be avoided ?

[tilgovi]

We can catch the exception. I should be able to get to this over the weekend if no one else can. Closing any other issues on the milestone will help get this released faster.

@tilgovi sounds like a plan :)
