Question

I am trying to receive an xml file through PUT in web.py, it is not working.Can any one explain what is the issue in the below code

import web

urls = (
    '/', 'index'
)

class index:
    def PUT(self):
        postdata = web.data().read()
        fout = open('/home/test/Desktop/e.xml','w')
        fout.write(postdata)
        fout.close()
        return "Hello, world!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = web.application(urls, globals())
    app.run()

I am getting this is terminal

"HTTP/1.1 PUT /doc.xml" - 404 Not Found

I use curl to upload the xml

curl -o log.out -H "Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" -T doc.xml "http://0.0.0.0:8760"

Answer 1

import web

urls = ( '/upload', 'index')

class index:
    def PUT(self):
        datta = web.data()
        with open("another.xml", "w") as f:
            f.write(datta)
        return "hello"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = web.application(urls, globals())
    app.run()

with this curl

curl -T somexml.xml http://0.0.0.0:8080/upload

worked for me. I needed to change url because curl behaved strange. Or maybe it seemed to me. but somehow this code won’t work with “/” as a url.
