Hi,
i was trying to upload a file to my django backend without using django
forms, but i was not able to it : my file was constantly getting dropped
by the multiparser!
my multipart/formdata post request has two standard string post values :
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo" \r\n\r\n
and one file :
Content-Disposition: form-data; filename="bar"\r\n
Content-Type: image/png\r\n\r\n
I made it work simply by changing the multipartparser.py file this way :
Current :
{{{
92 def parse(self):
...
141 try:
142 disposition = meta_data['content-
disposition'][1]
143 field_name = disposition['name'].strip()
144 except (KeyError, IndexError, AttributeError):
145 continue
}}}
New :
{{{
def parse(self):
...
field_name = ''
try:
disposition = meta_data['content-disposition'][1]
if disposition.has_key('name'):
field_name = disposition['name'].strip()
else:
field_name = disposition['filename'].strip()
except (KeyError, IndexError, AttributeError):
continue
}}}
I think the change is pretty straightforward, and would be really nice!
