zope-z3c.blobfile-0.1.5-4.lbn13.noarch

This package provides an implementation of zope.app.file.interfaces.IFile which uses the Blob support introduced in ZODB 3.8. It's main purpose is to provide an easy migration path for existing instances. For more advanced file implementations see zope.file and z3c.extfile.

The standard implementation in zope.app.file uses chunk objects to break big files into manageable parts. These chunks flow the server caches whereas blobs are directly consumed by the publisher. The main difference between this blob implementation and the old zope.app.file implementation can be seen in a replacement of the chunk objects by Blobs.
