Downloading files

Hi,

I am new to django .
From html page I want to download a file from a location in my local
system . I am using django server and not the apache/lightpd.
By the following code I am able to get the dialouge box on clicking the
link on web page .
But it downloads exactly 0 bytes.
Please suggest what to do ?

HTML CODE

<td nowrap>
         <a href="/mts/cpd/filename">Download Core</a>
      </td>

URLS:

(r'^mts/cpd/filename$','core.srdown')


views/core.srdown :

def srdown(request, id):
  
   paths= str(request.path)
 
 
   response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/force-download')
   response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % paths
  
   response['X-Sendfile'] = paths
 
   return response



I get the box asking for downloading but on clicking it downloads file with 0 bytes.
I have given the absolute path to the file '/mts/cpd/filename'. Is that correct ?
