I have a simple form that submits a image to the blobstore and a title for the image.
This works on my local devserver but when I deploy my code, non ascii letters in the title become garbled with some kind of mixture of ascii and hex. For example Ísland becomes =CDsland. Note, I am using <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> as the first value In the header. Also utf-8 works for all my other forms. Just the multipart form that becomes garbled. Anyways this is my form:
<form action="{{ uploadurl }}" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<div><label>Title</label><input type="text" name="title" class="string" /></div>
<div><label>Picture</label><input type="file" name="img"/></div>
<div style="margin-top:10px;"><input type="submit" value="Add picture" /></div>
<input type="hidden" value="{{ album.key }}" name="alid"/>
</form>
And this is the class handling the form:
# handler for posting photos
class PostPhoto(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreUploadHandler):
def post(self):
upload_files = self.get_uploads('img')
photourl = images.get_serving_url(str(upload_files[0].key()))
photo = Photo()
#because of multipart/form-data
photo.title = self.request.get("title")
photo.photourl = photourl
photo.photoalbum = PhotoAlbum.get(self.request.get('alid'))
photo.put()
Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? Do I have to do some server side encoding/decoding? I have tried googling around for that with no results(python newb), so this is my last resort before i just alter my design and split up the forms.
