Summary: httplib: allowing stream-type body part in requests
Initial Comment:
Greetings.
The attached patch makes it possible to use a file-like
object in httplib requests (useful to PUT large files
without exhausting the machine memory - think a DAV
server).
The supplied object must be able to read().
If Content-Length support is desired, the body object
must either have a __length__ method (so len(body)
works) OR have a stat-able "name" property (file
objects are in the second category).
Having applied this patch the following works:
import httplib
import base64
hh={}
auth = base64.encodestring("%s:%s" %
("guest","guest")).rstrip()
hh['Authorization']='Basic %s' % auth
conn=HTTPConnection('localhost',8080)
conn.debuglevel=99
thestream=open(r'\tmp\huge.pdf','rb')
conn.request('PUT',
'/dav/streamed',
thestream,hh)
thestream.close()
rsp=conn.getresponse()
print
rsp.status,"-",rsp.reason,repr(rsp.msg.dict),rsp.read()
conn.close()
Opening in 'rb' mode - on windoze - is important for
this to work, or the content length header will be
wrong, which is probably BAD.
