I am using Dojo to upload multiple files to the server at once. It sends a POST request to my Web.py app, submitting the files under the attribute name 'uploadedfiles'.
I try to catch and return these files with the following code:
def POST(self): x = web.input() return x.uploadedfiles
Works great with one file, but with 2 or more it returns only the last file.
I Read the Docs; says web.input uses a dict-like object, so the behavior above makes sense.
So reading up on things, I try: def POST(self): x = web.input(uploadedfiles=[]) return x.uploadedfiles
Cool! Now it returns a list with both files! But it's just the file itself. It's not a storage object like it would be if there was just one file.
My question is:
Is there a way to return a list of storage objects from web.input()
x is a storage object that web.input() returns. file or list of files is value of x.uploadedfiles. storage object is not for storing files, its basically a dict what values you can get via dot syntax.
