[Tutor] Upload a file using python
Greetings!! Hi , I need to upload some file into a website. Its ajax based and so I managed to do using selenium.But I feel if i can use the http methods without involving any UI level automation things would be better.I have tried 'requests' library for this. Can't get how to upload a file. I performed it using post method. But dint get the required result.The uploaded file dint appear in the site. Any help anyone? thanks,rakesh ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

To use http the server at the other end needs to know what you are trying to do. Given it already publishes an Ajax interface I'd have thought it was unlikely to also have a raw http interface for file uploads. file. I performed it using post method. But dint get the required result. The uploaded file dint appear in the site. Does the server have a page that accepts post requests to upload files? If not it won't recognize your post request and possibly just ignore it or hopefully send you an http error back. Did you check the http error code returned?
