Cherrypy Flex and upload

[Andy]

To keep things simple I'm using the tut09_files.py example that comes
with cherrypy

All things are dandy if I use the form to upload the form

But if I use Flex to try to upload the file using

fileReference.upload(new URLRequest("http://10.1.254.32.:8000/
upload"));

I get the following error in cherrypy

Anyone got any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong ?

Looks like this is a known issue and is solved by enabling a tool.

HTH,

I use Flash uploads with cherrypy, and I need to use this signature to
get the upload to work:

def upload(self, uploaded_file, Upload=None, Filename=None):
# 'Upload' and 'Filename' are extra parameters that Flash adds.
pass

When calling the 'upload' method of a FileReference object in Flash,
you need to specify the upload data field name like this:
fileReference.upload(request, "uploaded_file");
OR
Use the default value "Filedata" and change the Python controller to
reflect the change:
def upload(self, Filedata=None, Upload=None, Filename=None):
pass

Also, Flash does NOT send a cookie with uploads, so you can't use
anything in the user's session from within the 'upload' controller.

BTW: the stuff I posted is in addition to turning on the tool noted in
Christian's post.
