Ah, my bad. Without reading the docs "The Blobstore API allows your app to serve data objects, called blobs, that are much larger than the size allowed for objects in the Datastore service."
"Apps never access blob data directly; instead, blobs are created indirectly, by a submitted web form or other HTTP POST request, and served indirectly through the Blobstore API." I didn't know the new blobs were something other than a larger size limit for BlobProperty, and I didn't know direct access wasn't implemented. Seeing the mention of PUT, which I know is broken (application/x-www- form-urlencoded and any other format, for small or large sized data), I thought there might be an easy fix. Obviously I was wrong, the context is more general. Without reading the source, I don't know if Blobstore is a workaround for Datastore limitations, but would guess that pulling 50M through a POST (or patched PUT) would run into Datastore size issues (presumably that is why Blobstore is (currently) what it is). -- G On Dec 15, 7:17 am, oli <[email protected]> wrote: > Unfortunately it's not that simple.
