I am developing a web browser application where the user must upload a image file to a web2py server.
I am using the traditional way for file input, which, in the iPad, gives the option to either upload an existing picture or take a new one from the camera. var url = "http://please-help-me.com";; var file = document.getElementById("file").files[0]; var fd2 = new FormData(); fd2.append("upload", file); fd2.append("id", 123); var reader = new XMLHttpRequest(); reader.open('post',url, true); reader.onreadystatechange = function() { console.log("Status:" + reader.status); } reader.send(fd2); This works fine in the desktop browsers, Android browser, but not in the iPad, where it occasionally gives a 400 Bad Request Error. It doesn't return the error every time. Just sporadically. Web2py returns this error message: ERROR:Rocket.Errors.Thread-20:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mdipierro/make_web2py/web2py/gluon/rocket.py", line 1337, inrun File "/home/mdipierro/make_web2py/web2py/gluon/rocket.py", line 1838, inrun_a pp File "/home/mdipierro/make_web2py/web2py/gluon/main.py", line 651, inapp_with _logging File "/home/mdipierro/make_web2py/web2py/gluon/main.py", line 532, inwsgibase File "/home/mdipierro/make_web2py/web2py/gluon/globals.py", line 252, inbody HTTP: 400 BAD REQUEST Searching in the code, it appears the content of the post message is not valid and the web2py body function has trouble reading it. The error rises when I try to read the request.post_vars data I've tested the code without sending the image (and only sending other data) and it seems to be working every time. Is there a specific parameter I should add to the request? Why does it work sometimes, but not all the time?
