I would like to bundle up a number of files in a tar file and send it over a HTTP connection, but I would like to do this without creating the tar file on disk first.
I know I can get tarfile to output to a stream by doing something like tar_pipe = tarfile.open(mode="w|", fileobj=my_file_obj) However, I can't figure out which file object to use to send this over a HTTP connection. I tried conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(hostname, port) conn.putrequest("PUT", "/client/files") conn.endheaders() tar_pipe = tarfile.open(mode="w|", fileobj=conn.sock.makefile()) for filename in filenames: tar_pipe.add(filename) tar_pipe.close() conn.getresponse() but that does not send any data... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
