This is kind of quick and dirty, but I think it does the job. Someone
can correct me if I'm wrong. There may be an easier way; I haven't
looked at this since last fall.
You need a form with a file upload in it:
<p>Upload a new file:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post"
action="/path/to/view-code-below/">
<input type="file" name="new_file" /><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</p>
Then you need to create view code to catch the file:
if request.method == 'POST':
new_file = request.FILES['new_file']
name = new_file['filename']
content_type = new_file['content-type']
content = new_file['content']
size = len(new_file['content'])
What you do with all of this stuff now that you've got it is up to you.
Note that Django currently doesn't do anything to stop somebody from
uploading a huuuuge file, so you could run into trouble if you try to
evaluate the content of someone's uploaded DVD image.
