sending a file through a curl command or postman
I am trying to upload image to my Flask app, I was able to sucesffuly do that through a web browser upload button, however when I do a POST request from my postman if it giving me a error 303
127.0.0.1 - - [2017-03-28 20:16:05] "POST /api/user/uploadimg/ HTTP/1.1" 302 632 0.005147
here is my Flask code
@app.route('/api/user/uploadimg/', methods=['POST','GET'])
def upload_file():
def allowed_file(filename):
return '.' in filename and \
filename.rsplit('.', 1)[1].lower() in ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS
# check if the post request has the file part
if request.method == 'POST':
# check if the post request has the file part
if 'file' not in request.files:
flash('No file part')
return jsonify({"Nope":"No file entered"})
file = request.files['file']
# if user does not select file, browser also
# submit a empty part without filename
if file.filename == '':
flash('No selected file')
return redirect(request.url)
if file and allowed_file(file.filename):
filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
user=User.query.get(7)
file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename))
user.image_filename=filename
user.image_url=url_for(url_for('uploaded_file',filename=filename))
db.session.commit()
return jsonify({"Done":"All set!"})
return '''
<!doctype html>
<title>Upload new File</title>
<h1>Upload new File</h1>
<form method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>
<p><input type=file name=file>
<input type=submit value=Upload>
</form>'''
I would love to know how can I curl the following url and send the file using a curl or postman. PS: I have postman sending the command as POST method, and the content type is multipart-data
Here is the curl command I am using to send data
curl -X POST -F "file=certificate.pdf" http://localhost:3500/api/user/uploadimg/ -H "Content-Type: multiform/form-data"
