Gramex 1.59 release notes

DriveHandler manages files

DriveHandler is a FormHandler-compatible replacement for UploadHandler. It makes it easy to create a Dropbox or Google Drive clone within Gramex.

• FileHandler
  • no longer fails to guess the MIME type for capital extensions (e.g. .JPG). #213 [Pratap Vardhan]
  • preserves query parameters on redirect. #221
  • does not expose .git/ directories or other hidden sub-directories. #227
• gramex.cache.open maps the .h5 extension to HDF files
