Uploading a HTML file to Google App Engine - getting 405
google-app-engine, python
Solution
You are submitting your form with the POST method, but you implemented a `get()` handler instead of a `post()` handler. Changing `def get(self):` to `def post(self):` should fix the HTTP 405 error.
Problem
I'm trying to do a simple echo app using Python. I want to submit a file with a POST form and echo it back (an HTML file). Here's the `handlers` section of the YAML I'm using: ``` handlers: - url: /statics static_dir: statics - url: .* script: main.py ``` It's basically the hello world example in `main.py` and I added a directory to host my static html form file. Here's the HTML in `statics/test.html`: ``` <form action="/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <input type="file" name="bookmarks_file"> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> </form> ``` The handler looks like this: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python from google.appengine.ext import webapp from google.appengine.ext.webapp import util class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' self.response.out.write(self.request.get('bookmarks_file')) def main(): application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainHandler)], debug=True) util.run_wsgi_app(application) if __name__ == '__main__': main() ``` However, I'm getting an error 405 when posting the file. How come?
