HTTPPost multipart (upload file) from Java to Python webapp2

Viewed 1512

I'm trying to do file upload to GAE - serverside code:

 class UploadHandler(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreUploadHandler):
    def post(self):
            upload_files = self.get_uploads('file')  
            blob_info = upload_files[0] # When using flask, request.files[0] gives correct output.
            self.response.out.write('/serve/%s' % blob_info.key())

With HTML, I can get it to work:

upload_url = blobstore.create_upload_url('/upload')
    self.response.out.write('<html><body>')
    self.response.out.write('<form action="%s" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">' % upload_url)
    self.response.out.write("""Upload File: <input type="file" name="file"><br> <input type="submit"
        name="submit" value="Submit"> </form></body></html>""")

But I must be able to do a multipart post request from Java. I have a flask project hosted on openshift (flask, request.files[0] instead) in which the Java code appears to work:

HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
DefaultHttpClient mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(getString(R.string.url_webservice) + "/upload");
MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
multipartEntity.addPart("file", new FileBody(new File(path)));
httppost.setEntity(multipartEntity);
mHttpClient.execute(httppost, new MyUploadResponseHandler(path));

But when I run it on GAE, im getting an index out of bounds on upload_files[0] when uploading - Where is the error? I cannot seem to find it, the code is so similar to the following which i have confirmed to work (flask, openshift):

def upload_file():
if request.method == 'POST':
    file = request.files['file']
    ...

UPDATE: The complete error log:
