Is it possible to "stream" zipped data using the publisher handler? In my situation I would create the zipped archive upon client input and want to return the archive immediately. What I have in mind is creating a zip archive (using the zipfile module perhaps) in memory and than sending that to the client without actually creating a zip file on the disk of the server. In case this would not be possible I could live with creating a temporary file and returning that to the client, but at the moment the only way I can do this is through a link (such as <a href='data.zip'>click here</a>) but in this case it would be a 2-step process: (1) user clicks on something which creates the archive and sends back the link in html (2) user clicks on the link. Is it not possible to send the zip file immediately after its creation?
