#2715: Uploads from Flash 8 cannot be parsed in Python 2.3
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: adrian
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Core framework | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords: upload http

Flash 8 SWF files can upload files to a server. It features progress
monitoring and multiple file upload, making it a useful alternative to
regular browser uploads. The HTTP request is improperly formatted however,
missing an extra carriage return at the end. This results in the following
(partial) stacktrace:
{{{
File "django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 99, in _get_post
self._load_post_and_files()
File "django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 77, in _load_post_and_files
self._post, self._files = http.parse_file_upload(header_dict,
self.raw_post_data)
File "django/http/__init__.py", line 58, in parse_file_upload
msg = email.message_from_string(raw_message)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/email/__init__.py",
line 52, in message_from_string
return Parser(_class, strict=strict).parsestr(s)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/email/Parser.py",
line 75, in parsestr
return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/email/Parser.py",
line 64, in parse
self._parsebody(root, fp, firstbodyline)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/email/Parser.py",
line 206, in _parsebody
raise Errors.BoundaryError(
BoundaryError: No terminating boundary and no trailing empty line
}}}
I added patch that adds an extra carriage return after the post_data in
parse_file_upload. To my knowledge, the patch doesn't affect normal
uploads: Python's email parser parses them just fine. If it does, we could
check for the user agent in the header.
