Hey so I have a mail script written in python which works fine when I run
it from a linux terminal. My issue is I need to make an ajax call passing
in parameters from a custom form I created. In the Javascript it calls the
script but the mail never sends. I am stumped I have been trying to get the
ajax to work for days now with no luck. I am currently running the web2py
application on localhost:8000. Below I will post the code in question.
*HTML Code*
<div class="title"><p>Contact Us</p></div>
<div class="form-piece">
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input required class="in-txt" id="name" name="name"
placeholder="Your Name" type="text" value=""/><br>
<input required class="in-txt" id="email" name="email"
placeholder="Your Email" type="email" value=""/><br>
<textarea required class="last in-area" id="message"
cols="40" name="message" placeholder="Write your message here." rows="10"
type="text"></textarea><br>
<div class="error-message-container"><p
class="error-message" id="contact-message"></p></div>
<input class="button mail" id="send-contact" type="button"
value=""/>
</form>
</div><!--.form-piece-->
*JS Code (This is fired via a call to onclick of the (#send-contact) button
above)*
function sendContactEmail()
{
var name = $('#name').val();
var email = $('#email').val();
var message = $('#message').val();
//Variables are not currently used but will be passed once the cgi works
properly...
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../static/python/the_mailer.py"
});
}
*Python Code (This works if using the linux terminal (Comman: python
the_mailer.py) but not via ajax)*
import smtplib, socket, sys, getpass
def main():
print
try:
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo()
print 'Connection to Gmail Succesfully'
print 'Connected to Gmail \n'
try:
gmail_user = "[email protected]"
gmail_pwd = "my pasword"
smtpserver.login(gmail_user,gmail_pwd)
except smtplib.SMTPException:
print 'Authentication failed \n'
smtpserver.close()
getpass.getpass('Press ENTER to continue...')
sys.exit(1)
except (socket.gaierror, socket.error, socket.herror,
smtplib.SMTPException), e:
print
print 'Connection to Gmail failed'
print e
getpass.getpass('Press ENTER to continue...')
sys.exit(1)
while True:
to = "[email protected]"
if to != '': break
else: print 'this field is required'
sub = "Testing The Email Feature"
bodymsg = "This is an automated test from Application"
print
header = 'To:'+to+'\n'+'From:'+gmail_user+'\n'+'Subject:'+sub+'\n'
print header
msg = header+'\n'+bodymsg+'\n\n'
try:
smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user,to,msg)
except smtplib.SMTPException:
print 'Email could not be sent \n'
smtpserver.close()
getpass.getpass('Press ENTER to continue...')
sys.exit(1)
print 'Email Sent Sucessfully! \n'
smtpserver.close()
sys.exit(1)
print '\n'
# raw_input('pause program')
main()
