RequestTooLargeError

[Rikard Elofsson]

Hello. (This is my first post here ever so sorry for any possible mistakes in language or procedure)

I am trying to post a large file from an appscale server using requests. I get this error message:

RequestTooLargeError: The request to API call urlfetch.Fetch() was too large.

Looking for a solution I saw a suggestion to make httplib use sockets by writing this in the app.yaml file:

env_variables:

   GAE_USE_SOCKETS_HTTPLIB : True

   

but doing this I still get the same problem and httplib still uses urlfetch

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Rikard,

Thanks for using AppScale.

Could you provide sample code that replicates this issue?

Thanks

Hi Rikard,

Are you using the URLFetch API directly or Requests?

One thing you can try is installing Requests on your AppScale VM(s) and using that to send large files.

Let me know if you need help with that or if you have any more questions.

Thx!

I am using requests. Got it to work (well) by patching in the original httplib and using that. A more elegant solution would be nice

import python_std_httplib

sys.modules['httplib'] = python_std_httplib
