Get raw data (byte array) from flash in Zope

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how to get raw data sent by a flash
application in Zope (a zope method/function).

The flash application uses the method in the link below to send to the
server an image (jpg):

http://www.zedia.net/2008/sending-bytearray-and-variables-to-server-side-script-at-the-same-time/

Searching through the internet I have found a PHP example that gets
this byte array sent from flash:

http://blog.joa-ebert.com/2006/05/01/save-bytearray-to-file-with-php/

They are getting the date form a header called HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

The question is: how can I get this data on the server side in Zope? Becasue:

- REQUEST.form is empty
- HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is missing
- there is no other key or value in the REQUEST to indicate the value
I am looking for

On my local devel machine I managed to find a solution:

- using Zope 2.10.3 I have enabled use-wsgi (on) (without apache)
- in zope, the method called from flash is something like this:

...
v = REQUEST.environ['wsgi.input']
v.seek(0)
f = open(join(SOME_PATH, 'image.jpg'), 'wb')
f.write(v.read())
f.close()
return '1'

This solution doesn't work on the production environment - Zope 2.11.4
with ZEO (pound and apache in the front of zope as load balancer and
web server).

Is there a way to solve this problem? Any idea is highly appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Dragos

Doesn't work: AttributeError: BODYFILE

The data is actually received by Zope, but its broken into "pieces".

Please find a sample of the REQUEST.form here
http://media.fourhooks.ro/request_form.jpg

Any hints on how to put the image back together?

Hi,

The solution is very simple :)

Instead of sending the byte array like in the example, just encode it
as a string and send it in a variable using POST:

- base64 - this doesn;t works all the time... i don't know why
- bin to hex - works all the time

The server side code is like this:

img = REQUEST.form.get('picture', None)
if img is not None and img != '':
img = binascii.unhexlify(img)
img = PIL.Image.open(StringIO(img))
img.save(join(..., 'picture.jpg'))

We made tests with a lot of images, even with images of 10MB size. It works...
