There are more efficient ways to do that, even if you require authentication or other special handling. If you're doing something more interesting with them, then two approaches spring to mind. You could look into writing a custom Storage implementation to save them into the database (see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/storage/) , or you could just add a FileField to your form instead of your model, and in the form's save method, read the file contents into a TextField on your model. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
