I'm trying to rewrite some old python code with requests module. The purpose is to upload an attachment. The mail server requires the following specification :
Old code which works:
h = httplib2.Http()
resp, content = h.request('
"PUT", body=file(filepath).read(),
headers={'content-type':'text/plain'} )
Didn't find how to use the body part in requests.
I managed to do the following:
response = requests.put('
data={"file":filepath},
auth=('omer', 'b01ad0ce')
)
But have no idea how to specify the body part with the content of the file.
Thanks for your help. Omer.

Quoting from the docs
data – (optional) Dictionary or bytes to send in the body of the Request.
So this should work (not tested):
filepath = 'yourfilename.txt'
with open(filepath) as fh:
mydata = fh.read()
response = requests.put('
data=mydata,
auth=('omer', 'b01ad0ce'),
headers={'content-type':'text/plain'},
params={'file': filepath}
)
I got this thing worked using Python and it's request module. With this we can provide a file content as page input value. See code below,
import json
import requests
url = '
headers = {'Content-Type': "application/json", 'Accept': "application/json"}
f = open("file.html", "r")
html = f.read()
data={}
data['id'] = "87440"
data['type']="page"
data['title']="Data Page"
data['space']={"key":"AB"}
data['body'] = {"storage":{"representation":"storage"}}
data['version']={"number":4}
print(data)
data['body']['storage']['value'] = html
print(data)
res = requests.put(url, json=data, headers=headers, auth=('Username', 'Password'))
print(res.status_code)
print(res.raise_for_status())
Feel free to ask if you have got any doubt.
NB: In this case the body of the request is being passed to the json kwarg.
