I think I just found the answer... For requests with body content that is not a set of CGI parameters, such as the body of an HTTP PUT request, the request object provides the attributes body and body_file. body is the body content as a byte string. body_file provides a file-like interface to the same data.
uploaded_file = self.request.body http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/webapp/requestdata.html tom On Feb 1, 12:22 pm, tom s <tcs2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to send a bytearray from a Flash app to GAE, and store it > as a db.BlobProperty. > I think I have the actionscript correct (see below), but I don't know > how to get a reference the object in GAE. > So when I write: > > self.request.get(???) > > I don't know what to put in '???'. > When I have been passing URL encoded variables (which works fine) I > have used the variable name, but in this case there is no variable > name, The URL request is just a POST of binary data.
