Views module

class ultimatethumb.views.ThumbnailView(**kwargs)

Bases: View

ThumbnailView is used to provide the thumbnails to the brower.

We don’t use a serve static view because we need to check if the requested thumbnail is available - and if not: generate one.

The view supports the X-Accel-Redirect header supported by Nginx to no really serve the binary (enabled by default if DEBUG is False).

get(*args, **kwargs)

Fetch and return the thumbnail response.

get_thumbnail()

Try to fetch the thumbnail based on the thumbnail name. Might fail if cache resets between generation of the thumbnail urls and fetching of the images.

get_factor()

Get factor from url.

render_thumbnail(thumbnail, factor)

Generate the http response for the requested thumbnail. The code is able response with 304 if the thumbnail was already requested.

Supports X-Accel-Redirect, enabled by default if DEBUG is False.
