FWIW I'm facing the same problem and I'm reasonably certain the issue is simply a limitation of the BlobstoreUploadHandler. The handler stores uploaded blobs perfectly fine and gives your handler the BlobInfo for each blob BUT it seems to discard any non file (type='file') form fields. So if you want to upload a text description along with a photo you're out of luck (using the blobstore). I don't actually want the text description stored in the blobstore but I'd like it passed to the handler so I can store it in the datastore.
PLEASE FIX this blobstore upload issue... please make other (non file) form fields available to BlobstoreUploadHandler derived classes. Thank you! On a separate note I'm really looking forward to the programmatic access to the blobstore that I see listed on the roadmap! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
