The AppEngine's standard API assumes files are uploaded from an HTML form. I'm trying to post a file to the blobstore from a REST API method that can be called by a non Html client (Flash, iPhone, etc.) The code I'm trying to get working: # Get the blobstore upload url upload_url = blobstore.create_upload_url("/activities/upload_fi...

(I tried asking this on the GAE forums but didn't get an answer so am trying it here.) Currently to upload blobs, the app engine's blob store service creates a unique one- time URL that a user can post blobs to. My requirement is that I only want authenticated / authorized users to post blobs in my application. I can achieve this curren...
I'm using the python api and have created a few orphaned blobs during testing. Because of a bug in the dashboard, I can't currently delete these, and in any case going forward I would like to be able to do this programmatically since it will be unfeasible to do it manually once the number of entities goes up. ...

The Google Blobstore recently added support for serving partial byte ranges from a blob. When this method is invoked the response is generated with a HTTP 206 (Partial Content) status code. So it looks like app engine assumes that it is always serving a Range request in this case. However, in my case I have bundled many files into one b...
