I use the following <meta> tag to download a file but some files like pdf are being viewed instead of getting download.

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="5;{{ filepath }}">

How can I alter this statement to make ALL the files download?

And if I was to use a python/bottle framework command to have the same functionality what that command would be e.g. static_file()

couple of options; have a look at the `Content-Disposition` HTTP header, and the `target="_blank"` href parameters – Sam Mason Sep 25 '18 at 17:15

I was wondering if i can use the `static_file()` from withing a template as follows: `{{ static_file( filename, root=filepath, download=True ) }}` Can it be written like that? And if can how one can substitite the variables within the statement, in my case `filename` and `filepath` with its values taken from the `.py` file? – Νικόλαος Βέργος Sep 25 '18 at 17:26
