CGI upload

[Thomas Williams]

Can anyone tell me where to find info, on writing a
script that handles a file from a CGI form?

Thanks in advance.

It's in the manual, about the cgi module:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node403.html

at the end of the page.

Re: CGI upload

It uploads only a part of the file. Is it a feature of Windows implementation?

<!-- The form-->
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/test.py" enctype="multip art/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="filename" size=40>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>


# test.py

print "Content type: text/html"
print

import cgi

form=cgi.FieldS torage()
if form.has_key("f ilename"):
filedata=form.g etvalue("filena me", "")
assert filedata == form["filename"].value # the same

print len(filedata), '<br>' # some 400..800 bytes depending on file :-(

fstrm = open("test.bin" , 'wb')
fstrm.write(fil edata)
fstrm.close()
