The correct way to access uploaded file data is documented here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#handling-uploaded-files That is the public API, and you are correct in thinking that read() is the method you're after here. > > 2) Get the filename of the file corresponding to f.

However, it's a little more portable to use the latter form (request.COOKIES[settings.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME) in your applications, since then they are usable no matter what the setting happens to be. A Django application writer is not necessarily in control of the settings that will be used when the application is installed. > > It is presumably better to use a stable API rather than less stable > internals, It is *always* better. :-) Regards, Malcolm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
