So I'm struggling with this for a second day in a row and still nothing. Found few solutions on the internet but still I'm getting "Internal Server Error" when trying to send files with POST. The idea is as follows : I'm sending a file opened in python's shell to a django function on my server that will read and store the file there. I've tried urllib, urllib2 (with and without poster module), httplib and Multipart methods. Here's the whole list of what I've tried together with results :
#Variables
In [35]: url = "http://www.address"
In [36]: values = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': 'value3'}
In [37]: dataurllib = urllib.urlencode(values)
In [39]: dataposterlib, dataheaders = multipart_encode(values)
In [40]: dataposterlib
Out[40]: <generator object yielder at 0x15a0410>
In [41]: headers
{'Content-Length': 491,
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=13936c2ddba0441eab9c3f4133a4009e'}
In [43]: f = open("winter.jpg", "rb")
In [45]: filegen, fileheaders = multipart_encode({"file": f})
In [46]: filegen
Out[46]: <generator object yielder at 0xc5b3c0>
In [47]: fileheaders
Out[47]:
{'Content-Length': 39876,
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=0aa7a1b68d714440be06e166080925ec'}
#Working:
1. urllib.urlopen("http://www.address", data=urllib.urlencode({"key": "value"}))
2. urllib.urlopen(url, data=urllib.urlencode({"key": "value"}))
3. urllib.urlopen(url, data=urlib.urlencode(values))
4. urllib.urlopen(url, urlib.urlencode(values))
5. urllib.urlopen(url, data=dataurllib)
6. urllib.urlopen(url, dataurllib)
7. urllib.urlopen(url, data=urllib.urlencode({"file": f})) : works, but doesnt send file
8. import cookielib
from utils.multipart import MultipartPostHandler
cookies = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookies), MultipartPostHandler)
params = { "username": "bob", "password": "riviera", "file": f }
opener.open(url, params)
#Not working:
4. u = urllib.urlopen(url, "string")
5. u = urllib.urlopen(url, data="string")
7. u = urllib2.urlopen(url, data=urllib.urlencode(values)) : Error 500 but sends data
6. u = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.fandrive.yum.pl/event/upload/", data=urllib.urlencode({"key": "value"})) : Error 500 but sends data
7. u = urllib2.urlopen(url, data=urllib.urlencode({"key": "value"})) : Error 500 but sends data
8. u = urllib2.urlopen(url, data=dataurllib) : Error 500 but sends data
9. u = urllib2.urlopen(url, dataurllib) : Error 500 but sends data
10. In [31]: req = urllib2.Request(url, f, fileheaders)
urllib2.urlopen(req) : Error 500
11. req = urllib2.Request(url, filegen, fileheaders)
urllib2.urlopen(req) : Error 500, very seldomly sends data
12. req = urllib2.Request(url, dataurllib)
urllib2.urlopen(req) : Error 500, sends data
I've found somebody with the same problem so I borrowed his django function (which is based on this post :
def upload(request):
logging.debug("GO")
for key, file in request.FILES.items():
path = '/path/'+ file.name
logging.debug(path)
dest = open(path.encode('utf-8'), 'wb+')
logging.debug(dest)
if file.multiple_chunks:
loggin.debug("big")
for c in file.chunks():
dest.write(c)
else:
logging.dobug("small")
dest.write(file.read())
dest.close()
destination = path + 'test.txt'
logging.debug(destination)
file = open(destination, "a")
file.write("file \n")
file.close
return 0
I've noticed that even when my function runs, the files sent are not saved, as well as the code after destination... is skipped. Just as there would be timeout before it reached this place. Wireshark shows POST request being sent, but server always gives 500 error. How is this happening ? I've tried few combinations with my 2 servers as well as sending from local computer but still nothing. What am I missing here ? I'm using the same code as everybody else on the internet. Even built-in urllib2 module always gives error even though urllib works.
EDIT
I've changed server to another one and finally I have some solid error log (receiver side):
