how to pass a file and body at same time?

[Alnyz]

i've new in hyper i want just send request using file for a body but i didn't get valid argument for this

let say i have code like this:

from hyper import HTTPConnection

file = open(myfile, "rb")
body = {
    "content":b"mycontent"
}
req = HTTPConnection("myhost.com")
req.request("GET","/path", body=body)
response = req.get_response()
print(response)

i dont know how to pass my file into request argument, so many appreciate for any help

Shouldn't you be using POST instead of GET to send a body? Also, note that body= is expecting a byte string, and you are passing it a dict.

ahh sorry about that im forgot this one, but you can explain me how to pass valid argument for POST method pass a file and some data(body)?

I am also having some issue with POST. here is my sample code.

filepath = "testfile"
print(type(filepath))
file_size = os.stat(filepath).st_size
print("file_size = {}".format(file_size))
a = open(filepath, 'rb')

files = {'image', a}

hdr = {'Content-Length': str(file_size)}
conn.request(method='POST', url="/upload_http2/upload_http2.php", body=files, headers=hdr)
resp = conn.get_response()
print(resp.status)

This part of the docs provides an example POST request:

from hyper import HTTPConnection
c = HTTPConnection('http2bin.org')
req = c.request('POST', '/post', body=b'hello')

As you can see, body= is given a bytestring b'hello'. You could convert your dicts to string and encode them to a bytestring? that might work.

i know about this one, but how if i want post image
for example i use default requests

import requests

fr = {
	"a":open("tes.jpg", "rb") 
}
r = requests.post("https://api.ians.web.id/api/img/index.php", files=fr)
print(r.text)

and i get what i want, im so glad if have example using hyper for my issue

Currently there is no way to do this in hyper. There are two ways I can see this being resolved:

1. Implement the functionality manually within Hyper
2. Re-use requests implementation, such at this.

For the time being, in theory I reckon you could just use the requests method I listed to encode the data yourself and pass that to hyper in the body? I'm not sure what the thoughts of the repo owner are on re-using requests stuff to implement functionality but I don't see a reason not to
