I'm not sure it's possible to do this - the XAPI web interface is very simple - although I'll let someone else who knows for certain to comment too.
I just wanted to highlight that the example from the blog post was about creating a XenAPI plugin that allows you to upload something already existing on the XenServer to an external service - in this case Glance. This plugin has been written and can be seen at https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/etc/xapi.d/plugins/glance. The intention of this plugin is to take an image already existing on XenServer and push it up to Glance, or to take an image on Glance and pull it down. It is not possible to use this plugin to upload an image via the XAPI www interface.

I came across your host plugin write up http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/08/17/hello-xen-api-host-plugin/ , and saw that you mentioned something about uploading images. Will it be possible for you to assist me? We have a simple html file in the /opt/xensource/www, We then added a form, to allow users who browse to the ip address of the sever to upload a file to it. ___________________________________________________ Index.html <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="save_file2.py" name="save_file2.py" method="post" style="color:#454545;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;text-align:left;margin:10px;"> Choose a file to upload: <input type="file" name="file"><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload"></p> </form> ___________________________________________________ Save_file.py #!/usr/bin/env python import cgi, os import cgitb; cgitb.enable() try: # Windows needs stdio set for binary mode. import msvcrt msvcrt.setmode (0, os.O_BINARY) # stdin = 0 msvcrt.setmode (1, os.O_BINARY) # stdout = 1 except ImportError: pass form = cgi.FieldStorage() # A nested FieldStorage instance holds the file fileitem = form['file'] # Test if the file was uploaded if fileitem.filename: # strip leading path from file name to avoid directory traversal attacks fn = os.path.basename(fileitem.filename) open('files/' + fn, 'wb').write(fileitem.file.read()) message = 'The file "' + fn + '" was uploaded successfully' else: message = 'No file was uploaded' print """\ Content-Type: text/html\n <html><body> <p>%s</p> </body></html> """ % (message,) ___________________________________________________ Unfortunately, when I test out the html, it returns the below error: [cid:image001.png@01CEC8E5.E5540D80] Can you please help me to understand what is happening, and maybe I can finally get this upload process to work properly.
