howto use "file.upload"?

posted by matjes
Posted on Monday December 22, 2008 at 13:54. 309 visits. ( permalink )
I would like to allow my (python-) desktop app to upload files to Ipernity. For most Ipernity function, I used so far, I got my code working (including signature ..).

However the "upload.file" method for me does not work. I have no idea how to include the file data! Should the "file" parameter contain the file name or the file data itsself? Or do I have to upload the file in a way like it is explained here: code.activestate.com/recipes/146306. Should the "file" parameter attached to the url like all other parameters or separatly posted as http "content"?

Many thanks in advance

Hello matjes, yes, the "file" data has to be send like in code.activestate.com/recipes/146306 .
The file will be sent just like any other parameters, but omitted in the signature calculation. All parameters are sent using HTTP POST.

Well I still could not manage it. In the API documentation it is written, that the "file" parameter should be send as "url encoded". However "code.activestate.com/recipes/146306" describes how to send it as binary.

I tried the following python code snippet:


def sendPostQuery(self, method, **params):
params = params.copy()
params["api_key"] = self.api_key

if "file" in params:
File = params.pop("file")
if isinstance(File, (str, unicode)):
File = file(File, "rb")
body = urllib.urlencode({ "file" : File.read() })
else:
body = None

query = urllib.urlencode(params)
query = "/api/%s/%s?%s" % (method, self.format, query)
self.conn.request('POST', query, body=body)


However I get the message that 'API Key is missing'.

Have you any useful advises? Many thanks in advance!

I don't think the file need to be urlencoded.
All the parameters must be sent using POST - and the signature is calculed without the file.
The POST must be with enctype=multipart/form-data (it's similar to multipart mime).
We're using CURL to do the job, maybe check the PHP API class for an example - or check www.vivtek.com/rfc1867.html

I didn't ever work with python but i guess the problem is that only the value of the param must be urlencoded ! but you are encoding also the keys!
query = urllib.urlencode(params)
body = urllib.urlencode({ "file" : File.read() })

I hope that this will help, and as Christophe said; take a look at the PHP KIT it work well

regards
