Client side (javascript) uploads the application with XMLHttpRequest:
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('POST', my_app_url, false);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", req.length);
req.sendAsBinary(req.binary);
I use datastore on the server side (not blobstore).
How can I save uploaded file to the datastore? I've found that ServletFileUpload can be used with Java. But how to do the same with Python?
You should use self.request.body
class YourUploadHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self):
your_binary_content = self.request.body
If you mean on the appengine side, you just have to have a blobproperty. So something like...
class SomeEntity(db.Model):
file_data = db.BlobProperty()
class AddData(webapp.RequestHandler)
def post(self):
data = self.request.get("filedata")
e = SomeEntity(file_data = db.Blob(data))
e.put()
As a note, I'm not sure if the code you posted above to send the request is correct, but you can upload the file with a simple html form, something like this:
<form action="/url_to_adddata_handler/" method="post">
<input type="file" name="filedata">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
self.request.get("filedata"), but looks like self.request.body does what I need ;).
