upload file to rest service on GAE

[James Burke]

I'm having some trouble uploading/accessing a file on Google App Engine (GAE).

This is the code used to store the file:

@request.restful()
def workspace():
    def POST(*args,**vars):
       
        workspace_id = db.workspace.insert(repository=request.vars.repository,
                                            name=request.vars.name,
                                            file=db.workspace.file.store(request.vars.file))
        from gluon.serializers import json
        return json(dict(workspace_id=workspace_id))


    return locals

When I check the field in the Datastore viewer (file_blob) it returns "No data was found".

When I change the above code to:

@request.restful()
def workspace():
    def POST(*args,**vars):
       
        workspace_id = db.workspace.insert(repository=request.vars.repository,
                                            name=request.vars.name,
                                            file=db.workspace.file.store(request.vars.file))
       

        print '###############'

        print db.workspace(workspace_id).file

        print db.workspace.file.retrieve(db.workspace(workspace_id).file)

        print '###############'

        from gluon.serializers import json
        return json(dict(workspace_id=workspace_id))


    return locals

I get the following in the log:

###############

workspace.file.b575903eaa01af0a.6e6f6e65326e6f6e65202831292e666d77.fmw

NotFoundException

Any help is appreciated.
