This become very handy when your models are actual files and you want to make them available for download with a minimal level of security.

A few parameters are needed:

  • settings.py:

    UNIQUE_URL_OBJECT : the model class that the urls will correspond to

    UNIQUE_EXP_DATE : the urls expiration date

    UNIQUE_MAX_CLICS : the max clics allowed per url

  • templates:

    unique/download_error.html : the download error page
