I want users on the site to be able to download files whose paths are obscured so they cannot be directly downloaded.

For instance, I’d like the URL to be something like this: http://example.com/download/?f=somefile.txt

And on the server, I know that all downloadable files reside in the folder /home/user/files/.

Is there a way to make Django serve that file for download as opposed to trying to find a URL and View to display it?
