Normally, unless you've set up the front end to do otherwise, the request body for a POST isn't yet "officially" a file. You can access it with a couple lines like data = request.body.read() filedata = cStringIO.StringIO(data) request.body is discussed at <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#request> /dps and then u > > I tried even > > with open('img.jpg', 'w+') as the_file: > the_file.write(request.vars.image1) > > but ended up with > TypeError: expected a character buffer object > > Please help > -- 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.
