I have this php code that sends a POST request containing a file:

<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => 'http://****/ocr_api/',
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array('file'=> new CURLFile('/C:/Users/me/Downloads/test.pdf')),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);
echo $response;

I copied this code from postman under the "code" options, so this should be the equivalent of it and work without issue? But it still doesnt.

request.files shows an empty dictionary then doesnt make it further than that line

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
def accept_pdf():
    print("HERE", request.files) ## SHOWS UP EMPTY AND STOPS HERE
    pdf = request.files["file"]
    filename = pdf.filename
    print("FILENAME", filename)

Any help? Thank you

Try to set multipart/form-data in your call:

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  [...]
  CURLOPT_HEADERS => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array("Content-Type:multipart/form-data"),
  [...]
));

  • Hey thank you for the answer, it's still returning the 400 error. On my backend I'm printing off `request.files` and it's returning `ImmutableMultiDict([])` – Amon Mar 06 '23 at 20:51
