Question

I have a static folder that is managed by apache where images are stored.
I wonder if it’s possible by configuring apache to send all files from that folder as downloadable files, not opening them as images inside browser? I suppose I can do it by creating a special view in Flask, but I think it would be nicer if I could do it with some more simple solution.

Answer 1

flask.send_from_directory with as_attachment=True argument can do this.

Also, you can configure Apache to send Content-Disposition: attachment header like in this answer
