Odd behaviour with uploaded gzip file

[James Burke]

Hi,

I was trying to parse the contents of a single gzipped file, but kept getting an empty file.

@auth.allows_jwt()
@request.restful()
def log():
    def POST(*args,**vars):

        with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=request.vars.file.file, mode='rb') as f:
            test = f.readlines()
            print test
        return dict()
    return dict(POST=POST)

So i decided to print the contents of the file beforehand to make sure it wasn't empty.

print request.vars.file

with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=request.vars.file.file, mode='rb') as f:
    test = f.readlines()
    print test

To my surprise it started outputting the the contents of the zipped file.

If I comment out the print statement it stops working... Any ideas what is causing this behaviour?

Cheers,

James
