I needed to get video files to the blobstore from Amazon S3 (all more
than 1MB, btw), and I also noticed a lot of people having various
issues getting stuff to the blobstore.
So I wrote a general purpose cURL Server that I have sitting on a EC2
micro instance: http://ec2-204-236-157-181.us-west-1.
To be more precise you can't store a blobstore item without a file
POST request. This be done procedurally on a non-browser client --
for example using cURL. But through a browser you're pretty much
stuck with items.

Hi All,
I’m looking for a reality check before diving into developing (in
python) a major application for our web site (technically this is a
ground-up rewrite of an aging EC2 based app). There are a lot of
things that I like about GAE: easy development and deployment,
(mostly) worry free data stor
I needed a tool to move videos from Amazon S3 to the GAE Blobstore all
controlled from my GAE app. My best solution was to put a command
line cURL app on an AWS Micro instance. I needed it to run
asynchronously to keep my app from timing out, so I put in a daemon to
process queued cURL requests.
I like keeping my functionality separate. I currently use:
GAE -- for deployment
SVN -- for version control and archiving
Dropbox -- for automatic file backups and file sharing. (In fact my
whole personal source tree is in a Dropbox folder.)
I agree with the others. Using GAE for the other f
I'm now wondering if I'm missing something. I tried using the regex
groups in the webapp.WSGIApplication call, but after a couple of times
getting argument/parameter mismatches I gave up on that. I decided
that it was much easier and cleaner to do the url path parsing using
python regex within th

My gut reaction to this is that I'd rather have Python 3 over server
side JavaScript. The Python API is already comparable to (and
possibly faster than) the Java API. See http://gaejava.appspot.com/
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1085898/choosing-java-vs-python-on-google-app-engine.

I'm not completely clear on what you are trying to do and the
specifics of the interactions. My best understanding is that you have
a user initiated POST operation that is happening from a window whose
domain is different from that of an iframe that it contains. You

This may not be much help, but I've used cURL for blobstore uploads.
It shows progress in text, and it will pass the mimetype you specify.
(It's not good at guessing mimetypes from file paths though.)

I think I get the OP's requirements. The main use cases that I can
think of are wanting to give a tier of developer-users a server-side
scripting capability but limit and/or monitor their access to the
datastore. For such use cases manually monitoring developers is
neither possible nor desirable.
Interesting question. I like the two app approach. That said, one
hypothetical way you might achieve it with one app is to restrict how
the secondary developers run appcfg.py. They can only run a special
version which sticks something like the following onto the front of
their files:

Hi Krishna,
I'm in the middle of investigating using serving video from GAE. My
interest is primarily distributed computer graphics film and video
production, rather than pure serving of end user content. However I'm
probably looking into similar issues. So far what I have working is:

For this particular case I would consider doing a two pass process.
Add the encrypted password to the datastore on the first pass. Then
switch the code to use the encrypted passwords, and finally remove the
old passwords. The advantages are that you can do your final testing

However it turns out that I was being embarrassingly slopping in my

Funny, I was looking at the same wikipedia page today.
I've seen the '=' pad character in the Dev Server keys, but not
production keys.
I'm hoping that the key names avoid '_' since I'm using it as a token
separator in one place. But it would be nice to know definitively.

The one thing that looked off to me is that the line in ServePhoto
photo = db.get(self.request.get("photo_id"))
might want to be
photo = Photo.get(self.request.get("photo_id"))
I think db.get is a datastore method, not an inherited method from
db.Model

I think Philip is most concerned with this statement from the

"The URL returned by this method is always public, but not guessable;
private URLs are not currently supported. If you wish to stop serving

I think you've got the picture. I was dealing with this sort of thing
a couple weeks ago and wrote a cookbook page that kinda-sorta makes it
