Here's the code of my working "upload" url. I'm saving the file, but the
value in x["fupFile"].file.read() could also be stored somewhere else, in
the session, or in a variable if you intend to use it later in this request.
Also note my use of os.path.join. It's bad practice to hardcode slashes in
a path - it's not cross platform! os.path.join will concatenate many items
together using the OS specific path.
class upload:
def GET(self):
return """This endpoint only accepts POSTS from file_upload.html"""
def POST(self):
x = web.input(fupFile={}, ref_id="")
if x:
# print x # ref_id
# web.debug(x['fupFile'].filename) # This is the filename
# web.debug(x['fupFile'].value) # This is the file contents
# web.debug(x['fupFile'].file.read()) # Or use a file(-like)
object
ref_id = (x.ref_id if x.ref_id else "")
filename = "%s.tmp" % (ref_id)
fullpath = os.path.join("tmp", filename)
with open(fullpath, 'w') as f_out:
if not f_out:
raise Exception("Unable to open %s for writing." %
(fullpath))
f_out.write(x["fupFile"].file.read()) # writes the
uploaded file to the newly created file.
# all done, we loop back to the file_upload.html page, but this
time include
raise web.seeother(
"static/pages/file_upload.html?ref_id=%s&filename=%s" % (ref_id, filename))
