[ckan-discuss] Uploading file in a custom CKAN extension

Thu Aug 22 08:45:39 BST 2013

Hi Pabitra,

I think the code of ckanclient is a good starting point to see how to
upload a file using the FileStore API:
https://github.com/okfn/ckanclient/blob/master/ckanclient/__init__.py#L551
The relevant part is the multipart POST that you can find here:
https://github.com/okfn/ckanclient/blob/master/ckanclient/__init__.py#L476

Hope this helps.

Regards Stefan
