Question

On my Django backend, I deal with images like this:

for file in request.FILES.iteritems():
            image = request.FILES["image"]

It is easy to send a post request via java using a byte array.

But how to do a post request using Python?

As in, I’ve an image url.

I’ve downloaded the iamge from an url using

r = requests.get('url')
r.content #ImageConent

Now how do I post it such that it is delivered as a byte array?

Have a look at the requests documentation on how to send multipart requests. Basically you just need to do:

>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
>>> files = {'file': open('report.xls', 'rb')}   
>>> r = requests.post(url, files=files)

Or in your case:

>>> r = requests.get(url1)
>>> files = {'image': r.content}   
>>> r = requests.post(url2, files=files)
