Mika just because you've uploaded the file it doesn't mean web2py has saved it to disk. You always get that string because you are printing it which calls the __str__ method in stuff which returns a string.
The file is not anywhere on disk when it comes to web2py until you actually write it there. The file is in the request in a cgi.FieldStorage object. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
