I'm following the Flask tutorial for image uploading. I also decided to tinker with it a bit so that I can add other features. The website loads locally, but when I actually click on the upload button (after selecting a .png image), I get the following error:
Bad Request. The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand.
I've read something about adding an else statement here: Form sending error, Flask But I'm not sure how to accommodate it for my needs. Here is my code:
from flask import Flask, request, session, g, redirect, url_for, \
abort, render_template, flash
from werkzeug import secure_filename
import os
DEBUG = True
SECRET_KEY = 'development key'
USERNAME = 'admin'
PASSWORD = 'default'
#Add parameters for image uploads:
UPLOAD_FOLDER = '/upload_folder/'
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = set(['png','jpg','jpeg'])
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER
#@app.route('/')
#@app.route('/<name>')
#Image uploads:
def allowed_file(filename):
return '.' in filename and \
filename.rsplit('.',1)[1] in ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS
@app.route('/',methods=['GET','POST'])
def upload_file():
if request.method == 'POST':
file = request.files['file']
if file and allowed_file(file.filename):
filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'],filename))
return redirect(url_for('uploaded_file',filename=filename))
return '''
<!doctype html>
<title>Upload new File</title>
<h1>UPload new File</h1>
<form action="" method=post enctype=multpart/form-data>
<p><input type=file name=file>
<input type=submit value=Upload>
</form>

#Handle errors:
