HTTPS Upload Files to Web Server using SSL

This example shows how to upload one or more files over SSL (HTTPS) to a web server.

Download Chilkat Python Library

import sys
import chilkat


http = chilkat.CkHttp()

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print http.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Build a HTTPS upload request with the files to be uploaded:
req = chilkat.CkHttpRequest()
req.UseUpload()

#  The URL we'll be posting to is:
#  http://www.yourwebserver123abc.com/ConsumeUpload.aspx
#  Therefore, the path part of the URL is:
req.put_Path("/ConsumeUpload.aspx")

#  Note: You'll need to edit this example to upload to your
#  own web server.

#  Add some files to the request:
#  The 1st argument is an arbitrary name.  It's the POST form field name.
#  The 2nd argument is the filename currently existing on
#  the local filesystem.  It may include an absolute or relative
#  path, or no path at all if it's in the current working directory.
success = req.AddFileForUpload("file1","hamlet.xml")
if (success != True):
    print req.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

success = req.AddFileForUpload("file2","dude.gif")
if (success != True):
    print req.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Send the HTTPS POST and get the response.  Note: This is a blocking call.
#  The method does not return until the full HTTPS response is received.

domain = "www.yourwebserver123abc.com"
#  The only difference in coding between non-SSL and SSL is
#  the setting of these two arguments to SynchronousRequest:
port = 443
ssl = True

resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,req)
if (resp == None ):
    print http.lastErrorText()
else:
    #  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
    print resp.bodyStr()
