Uploading binary file not working

[ecs1749]

I followed the example at:

http://webpython.codepoint.net/file_upload

and it works for text file.  I changed the open statement to do "wb" and tried to transfer a jpeg file.  After the transfer, the system no longer recognizes the file as a jpeg file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Windows needs special care for binary files:

Code

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

I have updated the examples in the tutorial.

Works now!

As long as you're updating the example, I believe the File Upload example is missing a file close statement.  The file never gets closed otherwise.

The returned file object is not kept. It is immediately consumed thus there is nothing to be closed:

Code

   open('files/' + fn, 'wb', 10000).write(fileitem.file.read())
