I am using Google App Engine with python 2.7. And there is need to generate in-memory xls-file and send it to user for downloading.
I found amount of topics in web, but any of them can't help me.
Related topics that I've tried to use: 1) this is with Blobs, I tried at first, 2) without Blob, 3) with force-download MIME type, also I've tried to use googlecloudstorage (can't find links to topics).
Here is my code:
import StringIO
class ExcelHandler(BaseHandler):
def post(self):
"""Save members to excel document and send to user"""
sheet = pyexcel.Sheet([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
filesheet = StringIO.StringIO()
sheet.save_to_memory('xls', filesheet)
filesheet.close()
self.response.write(sheet)
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/force-download'
self.response.headers['Content-Transfer-Encoding'] = 'utf-8'
self.response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=test.xlsx'
The problem is in sending response (not in creating file). I tried different 'Content-Type':
'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/download',
'application/force-download',
'application/octet-stream',
'application/vnd.openxmlformats - officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'
But the best response I've achieved is as on picture:
I can't enforce my browser to start downloading data from server. I guess there may be something in my Request that should say to server 'Hey, I want to download', but it is only my thoughts, I've not found anything about that. Will appreciate any help!
Here is also my Request:

I've got problem while trying to post the file to the server. I'm trying to make file upload script to server, this server is very 'Sensitive to correctness post request'
I debugged page that is sending the file to server and browser send this (TextView):

However, my script is sending this (TextView):

--f8c266cf436941019c5a80c7d4779a57--
With causes error on server, additional note: this error started when I changed files=files to data=files
Current Code:
files = MultipartEncoder({'files[]': (filename, open(local_path,'rb'), mimetype)})
UploadFile = requests.post(self.UploadURL, data=files, allow_redirects=False)
Working code:
files = {'files[]': (filename, open(local_path,'rb'), mimetype)}
UploadFile = requests.post(self.UploadURL, files=files, allow_redirects=False)
I'm using MultipartEncoder to allow sending huge files.
I see that biggest mismatch is "boundary", but why this 'boundary' is generating in working code but in Current code not?
How to fix that?
You are not setting the Content-Type header, the MultipartEncoder provides it for you:
files = MultipartEncoder({'files[]': (filename, open(local_path,'rb'), mimetype)})
UploadFile = requests.post(
self.UploadURL, data=files, allow_redirects=False,
headers={'Content-Type': files.content_type})
The header must come from the multi-part encoding, because it is responsible for picking the boundary used to deliniate the various MIME parts in the multipart response. In your upload that's:
--f8c266cf436941019c5a80c7d4779a57
but it is generated at random each time your code runs. The header provided would look like:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--f8c266cf436941019c5a80c7d4779a57
I'm trying to write a python script that would help me install a theme remotely. Unfortunately, the upload part doesn't play nice, trying to do it with requests' POST helpers.
The HTTP headers of a successful upload look like this:

To create a simple session for WP, in order to use later for uploads:

To upload the said file to WP, using the wp_session global:

try:
with open(file_name, 'rb') as up_file:
r = wp_session.post('http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/update.php', files = {file_name: up_file})
print "Got after try."
finally:
up_file.close()
And this last bit is where it doesn't work, the upload is not successful and I get returned to WordPress' basic 404.
I have also tried requests_toolbelt MultiPart_Encoder to no avail.
Question: 'requests' POST file fails when trying to upload
Check your files dict, your dict is invalid
files = {file_name: up_file}
Maybe you need a full blown files dict, for instance:
files = {'themezip': ('oedipus_theme.zip',
open('oedipus_theme.zip', 'rb'),
'application/octet-stream', {'Expires': '0'})}
From docs.python-requests.org
files = {'file': open('test.jpg', 'rb')}
requests.post(url, files=files)

We have our own private cloud where I have installed OpenStack Swift. I have a working node (proxy and storage) that allows me to store and retrieve if I use the openstack and swift python cli to store and retrieve files. Additionally I am able to use the python API on a remote machine to store and retrieve files.
The root of my question is how to debug temp url and crossdomain filter issues. Is there a way to turn on detailed debug logging for these filters?
I have the default logging set to
log_name = swift
log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0
log_level = DEBUG
The situation I am trying to troubleshoot is as follows. When I try and use temp url and cross domain (for CORS), I get a 401. I debugged the code and it appears to be a invalid HMAC error. Based on research, this appears to be a date time issue where the client and the server have missed matched times. However both are running the ntpd service so the time should be in sync.
For CORS, it appears that preflight OPTIONS request is succeeding. The subsequent PUT is failing with a 401....
"No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://blahost' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 401."
The strange part is the OPTIONS request is returning "access-control-allow-origin" instead of 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'... the case is off.

I've followed the following article in an attempt to setup Apache2 caching in order to use it with Django on Ubuntu 12.10 with mod_wsgi. I want Apache to cache some requests for me.
http://www.howtoforge.com/caching-with-apaches-mod_cache-on-ubuntu-10.04
From the article I enabled the modules and setup the following php script to test the caching. The caching works just fine - I only get a new timestamp after 5 minutes.
vi /var/www/cachetest.php
<?php
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, max-age=300");
header("Vary: Accept-Encoding");
echo time()."<br>";
?>
Now in my django response, I return an HttpResponse object after setting the appropriate headers the same way:
# Create a Response Object with the content to return and set it's
response = HttpResponse("%s"%(output_display))
response['Cache-Control'] = 'must-revalidate, max-age=20'
response['Vary'] = 'Accept-Encoding'
return response
The caching with the Django request doesn't work at all. I've used Firefox's LiveHeaders to examine the HTTP response headers.
For the example link above and the PHP script the headers look like:
http://localhost/cachetest.php
GET /cachetest.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:29:32 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1
Cache-Control: must-revalidate, max-age=300
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 34
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
----------------------------------------------------------
For my Django Request - the caching doesn't work, it always forces the lengthy operation to complete the response - just like re-loading the php request above with F5. Using the FireFox plugin I seem to be writing the correct headers:
http://localhost/testdjango/testdjango/
GET /testdjango/testdjango/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:32:41 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Cache-Control: must-revalidate, max-age=20
Content-Encoding: gzip
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
----------------------------------------------------------
What am I doing wrong? How can I get the django caching to work like the php script? Thanks!
This seems to be your problem:
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
It means a 'streaming response', in terms of mod_mem_cache. And, according to the docs:
By default, a streamed response will not be cached unless it has a
Content-Length header.
You can solve it by setting the MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer directive.

By the way, does it have something to do with boundary? I use random numbers in above code.
From the MIME media types RFC 2046:
The canonical form of any MIME "text" subtype MUST always represent a
line break as a CRLF sequence.
Your code uses carriage returns ('\r') only; you need to add line feeds (\n) as well.
browser.form.enctype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Ended up using requests module to do the task. It turned out to be more convenient and reliable.
