New submission from Gianguido Piani <giangu...@mail.ru>:
Hi! This is my first posting ever on this site. I need to upload a simple text
file to Internet servers. With "curl" the operation goes smoothly, both with
http and https protocols, both up/downloads. With urllib3 and other TCP-IP
handlers the generated header for 'Content-Length' contains a wrong file length
indication (log verification with TCPDUMP), the file is not uploaded, the
servers return different error messages.
On the contrary, urllib3 file downloads do work, also with authentication.
code example
headers = {'authorization': 'Basic ==codeduserpwd=='}
resp = http_client.request('PUT',
'https://webserver.com',
headers=headers,
fields={'whatfile': (filename, file_data)}
)
In addition, in the documentation I still haven't figured out what 'whatfile'
(or any of the other keywords used there) actually is. Is this a keyword (where
is the list of all allowed kwds?), the source file, the target file, or what
else?? How does the function behaviour change depending on that indication?
Thankful for your support!
