I have made an api through flask
which submit a file and after receiving it on the back end , I want to further upload this to an unknown server using python requests
module
The server accepts the file if I do this like -
requests.post(urlToUnknownServer,files={'file':open('pathToFile')})
Now my requirement is to get the file param uploaded through flask.
In flask I get the file as FileStorage
object. I don't want to save this on my server, instead directly wants it to upload further.
So basically I want to convert that FileStorage
object to return type of open()
function which is file
(please correct me here if I am wrong)
I had tried it using -
obj=file(request.files['fileName'].read().encode('string-escape'))
requests.post(urlToUnknownServer,files={'file':obj})
This doesn't work. Can it be possible to do that without saving file on my server.
