I have the following code on python which basically sends an HTTP request containing a file on a remote server
url = 'http://localhost:8080/opt/in/QueryPartner'
files = {'my_file': ('@' + 'client.xml', open(os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'client.xml'), 'rb'), {'Expires': '0'})}
r = requests.post(url, files=files)
alert (r.text)
which corresponds to a similar CURL-command
curl -F''my_file=@client.xml'' http://localhost:8080/opt/in/QueryPartner
THE QUESTION
I need to perform a similar request using JS only (no python) so that the request is sent from the client machine. I understand that this should be a simple Ajax call, but I wonder what would be the correct syntax to pass on a file in the http request. Any hint would be highly appreciated
