request.vars.meta_description is a file (a FieldStorage object) not a string containing the bytes in the file. It contains
request.vars.meta_description.filename request.vars.meta_description.file (the input stream) So instead of db.domain.insert(meta_description=request.vars.meta_description) ###WRONG! You want db.domain.insert (meta_description=request.vars.meta_description.file.read()) ###RIGHT! Hope this makes sense. This is because you may need to retrieve the input filename and because the file size may be large than ram and you want to read a bit at the time.
