I have run into an issue and was wondering how I might be able to solve it
in the best way:
For storage backends that are http based some (such as S3) require that you
submit a Content-Length header upfront.
This is not necessarily a problem for the save method which takes a file
like object since it can look at the object and determine the length before
sending it. Though it still isn't very good as the file like object might
contain a lot of data or be transmitting over the wire.
However, it becomes impossible with the current API to open a file object
for writing and use the write method to write over http as the content
length is required to be sent before writing any data.
storage = S3Storage()
f = storage.open("myfile.txt", "w") # need to send the length and possibly
other metadata here.
f.write(data)
This kind of implementation would be required for supporting uploading
directly via an UploadHandler or other data backend which requires the
length as the upload handler provides the data in chunks.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Ian
