I'm uploading a file using curl in one of my django project, it works fine in localhost, but when I hosted the project in remote server, it does not work.
I'm sending the file from this command
curl -i --form docfile=@/path_to_file http://example.com/process-file
and in views.py, I'm handling this file as
def process_file(request):
if request.method != 'POST':
return HttpResponseNotAllowed('Only POST Method')
docfile = request.FILES['docfile']
output = main(0, docfile) # output is json object
return HttpResponse(output,content_type = "application/json")
This works perfectly fine when i run in local machine, but sending POST request to remote server with curl returns
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
and do nothing. File is getting uploaded. What should I do.
Thanks
Edit 1: I tried to send some other HttpResponse (file name) from other view method, its working fine, but when i process file, it just sends HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
I don't know exactly how to fix this in your project, but it looks like your
curl
is sending theExpect: 100-continue
header, prompting the remote server to send backHTTP/1.1 Continue
.curl
waits to get back that response then uploads the form. You saycurl
returns theHTTP/1.1 100 Continue
then "does nothing," but it should actually be uploading after it receives that, so maybe whatever callback you're using isn't returning that. I would try looking at it with Wireshark.
