Http Posting using QNetworkAccessManager

[ChrisW67]

Your multipart form data needs to include the other elements of the form. In this case the submit button.

imagePart = QtNetwork.QHttpPart()
            imagePart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentDispositionHeader,
                     "form-data; name=\"%s\"; filename=\"%s\"" % (key, fileName))
            imagePart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader,
                     'image/jpeg')
            imagePart.setBodyDevice(self._stream)
 
            submitPart = QtNetwork.QHttpPart()
            submitPart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentDispositionHeader,
                "form-data; name=\"submit\"")
            submitPart.setBody("submit")
 
            self._multiPart.append(imagePart)
            self._multiPart.append(submitPart)

imagePart = QtNetwork.QHttpPart()
            imagePart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentDispositionHeader,
                     "form-data; name=\"%s\"; filename=\"%s\"" % (key, fileName))
            imagePart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader,
                     'image/jpeg')
            imagePart.setBodyDevice(self._stream)

            submitPart = QtNetwork.QHttpPart()
            submitPart.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentDispositionHeader,
                "form-data; name=\"submit\"")
            submitPart.setBody("submit")

            self._multiPart.append(imagePart)
            self._multiPart.append(submitPart)

I tried this but no differences.still not working
I don't know what to do anymore

Yes it is. Your code with only the web server and file path changed, the submit button encoded, and the close() call removed:

        if stream.open(QtCore.QIODevice.ReadOnly):

Oh my God
I can't believe finally solution is here
I don't know how to say thank you,you helped me a lot,thanks Chris
it's working like a charm
but I also found the real issue in here
I tried your code in python3 for the first time and like always I didn't get any answer(no file uploaded) I become so upset since your code didn't working too !
anyway,I just thought maybe it's because PyQt4 have problem in python3,So I installed PyQt4 on python2 and Got exactly your result and file is uploading too
so it's obviously a PyQt4 bug in python3(the exact code is working on python2 but not in python3)
Do I need to report this ? how ?

[ChrisW67]

I am running Python 2.7.5 and Python 3.2.5 with PyQt 4.10.2 on 64-bit Linux.

My Python 3.2 on Linux also fails to send the data. The multipart message never makes it onto the wire correctly. Look closely at the two requests in Wireshark. With Python 2.7 the request goes on the wire with this header:

MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary: "boundary_.oOo._Nzc0MjMxOTU4MTgyMzc5MTk0Mw==NzIxMTQzNjA4"

MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary: "boundary_.oOo._Nzc0MjMxOTU4MTgyMzc5MTk0Mw==NzIxMTQzNjA4"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but with Python 3 the Boundary value gets mangled:

MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary: "b'boundary_.oOo._NjY2OTgyMTQ3MTg1NTk1MzgyNw==NDY5Njg1NTMw'"

MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary: "b'boundary_.oOo._NjY2OTgyMTQ3MTg1NTk1MzgyNw==NDY5Njg1NTMw'"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

resulting in a malformed payload (because the payload is encoded with boundary = "boundary_.oOo._NjY2OTgyMTQ3MTg1NTk1MzgyNw==NDY5Nj g1NTMw"). The PyQt4 under Python 3 is outputting the boundary as a bytes literal not a string. This could be a python wrapper type mapping issue.

You should address the issue to the PyQt mailing list or Riverbank Software directly if you have a commercial licence.
