As a user I want to preview a dataset ('resource') before downloading it.

Implementation

This will be implemented as an Extension

NB: This ticket requires a way to get data out of a remote url (the dataset). We do not want to put this data load/streaming into ckan core due to a) complexity b) load problems (do not want to take ckan out by accidentally pulling in a 1GB file)

1. Need a 'data proxy' - see ticket:698 and ticket:888
2. Preview using javascript in WUI - do this in an extension ​http://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-dataapi

Some extensions import pylons features (such as request) at root.

Have encountered following issues:

1. You need to import ckanext before any ckan stuff in your wsgi script (extension stats and dataapi)

2. Running under wsgi daemon mode (normal mode is fine!) the front page (front page only) will not work (does not occur with disqus or synchronous_search but does with stats and dataapi extensions). You get errors like this in the log:

[Mon Jan 17 09:01:19 2011] [error] Exception KeyError: KeyError(-1218594160,) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.pyc'> ignored
