But how can i send a file for uploading

[Michele Comitini]

see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#SQLFORM-and-uploads

just send the file in a HTTP POST (multipart encoded) from the client 

Code to do it is similar to this...

@request.restful()

def uploader():

   def POST(*args, **kwargs):

        # if the post is correct only first item is needed

        uploaded_file = kwargs[kwargs.keys()[0]]

        # fake table to use readymade code for upload

        db.define_table('media_content_', Field('bdata', 'upload'), migrate=False)

        filename = db.media_content_.bdata.store(uploaded_file, uploaded_file.filename)

        return dict(message='uploaded to file: {}'.format(filename))
