I'm trying to post a request with authentication.
This works for a get request:
import win32com.client
h = win32com.client.Dispatch('WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1')
h.SetAutoLogonPolicy(0)
h.Open('GET', url, False)
h.Send()
But I'm trying to make a post request, in particular, form-data, with file
data = {'datasetid': 9,
'date':"2018-04-16",
'file':open(r'C:\filename.pdf', 'rb').read()}
h = win32com.client.Dispatch('WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1')
h.SetAutoLogonPolicy(0)
h.Open('POST', url, False)
h.SetRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data')
h.Send(json.dumps(data))
This don't work because 'bytes' is not JSON serializable. Changing 'rb' to 'r' don't work because 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 143.
How do I send a file over? (And send the Authentication thing over as well, we are using NT Authentication).
I have tried using requests_ntlm and that works. But I would like to find a method that does not require to key in the authentication. using requests_ntlm, I need to key in something like session.auth = HttpNtlmAuth('username','password').
I'm looking for a solution like win32com SetAutoLogonPolicy(0) so that there is no need to key in username and password.
