[ckan-dev] Creating resource with upload from an extension

Fri Apr 29 14:16:06 UTC 2016

Using your solution does not trigger any errors, however, after uploading,
the url is 'URL: http://will-be-overwritten-automatically'
So I guess something else is missing? I'll stick to my ckanapi solution for
now
