Hello,
I am trying to upload a binary file (a tar.gz file to be exact) to a
web server using POST, from within a python script.
At the moment I am trying
URL="http://www.whatever.com";
f=open(filename, 'rb')
filebody = f.read()
f.close()
data = {'name':'userfile','file': filebody}
u = urllib.urlopen(URL,urllib.urlencode(data))
u.read()
The page on the web server receiving the file is a PHP script. What I
would like is for the path to the uploaded file to appear in the
$_FILES global variable. However, this is not happening. Instead, the
content of the file is all contained inside the $_POST variable.
What I would like is essentially the equivalent of
<form name='proceedings' method='post' action='www.whatever.com'
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="userfile" type="file">
</form>
which does result in the file being uploaded and the path placed in
$_FILES.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
Thomas
