After doing an upload page based on the Image Blog example in Chapter 3, I moved on to RESTing on curl. The Chapter 10 material was helpful, as was Chapter 6 under "More on uploads". The archive has some older posts that helped me, and actually pushed me across the finish line: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/9UO3lP7Jmgk/tv98DecbmCwJ Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:25:24 +0000 Subject: Re: [web2py] Re: can we use JSONRPC to upload?

Saving the download to a file is okay, and I can untar a tar file, and another binary file compares okay, but it would be nice to get the type correct on download. Also, I had to the use the "def POST(*args, **vars)" form, and couldn't figure out how to do it the parse_as_restfull() technique, partly because I couldn't figure out the URL and curl invocation to handle the file data. Furthermore, the curl -T doesn't seem to be putting the local filename into the POST, whereas the SQLFORM does. I have an fname field, which is redundant in the SQLFORM version, but is what I use in the RESTful upload. So I finally did Yet Another Web2Py Trick. The SQLFORM version took me half an hour or less, and then I broke things for a while trying to see what the POST url looked like, and then spent the rest of the afternoon on the REST. /dps "YAW2PT-count++" -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
