Python Forum

I'm using Flask and requests module. And I'm trying to use post request:

file = request.files['file']
files = {'file': open(file.filename)}
r = requests.post(SERVER, files=files)

And in the server:

file = request.files['file']
print(file)

I get the following error:

Error:
files = {'file': open(file.filename)}\nFileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'run.gif'

I think what I'm doing here is open(file.filename) is not reading the uploading file. Because, it doesn't read full path.

So, how can I read temp file?


Or, I'm doing something wrong? Should I send stream data to the server? If so, how should I do that? Please help me understanding to send file to the server.

Can you open the file with a script which does only that?

I feel like I need more context on this question. You should provide full, runnable code that reproduces your problem, with the minimum reasonable code necessary to reproduce it. I would estimate 10-20 lines, but if you're posting >50 it's definitely too much.
