If you go to the ticket system in <test app>/appadmin, you'll probably see
a ticket with this error:
TypeError: expected a character buffer object
That's because the file object cannot write Python objects directly, they
should be converted first to strings or other suported type. The
request.body.read() method already returns the string with the data sent by
the client request, so, there's no need to convert the JSON data to a
Python object server-side, unless you want to process it besides storing it
in a file.
If you want to read the json data sent from
reques.vars.data
you could use this:
In the controller:
def jsontest():
print "request.vars", request.vars
# store the data as file
import os
with open(os.join(request.folder, "static", "myfile.txt"), "w") asmyfile
myfile.write(request.vars.data)
raise HTTP(200, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold
it against me? I...I am no longer infected.")
In the view:
{{=SCRIPT("""
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$.post("%(url)s", {data: <here goes the JSON string>},
function(data){window.alert(data);});
});
""" % dict(url=URL("default", "jsontest.json")))}}
By the way, for storing JSON data server-side, there's a new feature in
trunk that supports "json" field types, an IS_JSON validator and a json
form widget
