Websocket file upload example
Tornado is an asynchronous network library and specializes in dealing with event driven networking. The demo application will allow us to upload a tab-separated values (TSV) file, parse it and make its contents available at a unique URL. In this article, we will take a look at how a simple WebSocket server can be built in Python using Tornado. Tornado provides web server capabilities in Python that is specifically useful in handling long-lived connections. With certain new features of Python 3 and frameworks that already exist for Python, such as Tornado, handling long lived connections is a challenge no more. The threaded model and global interpreter lock are often considered to be the achilles heel of Python.īut all of that has started to change. However, due to the way Python or most of its web frameworks work, handling long lived connections can quickly become a nightmare. Frameworks such as Django provide nearly everything necessary to build web applications, and anything that it lacks can be made up with one of the thousands of plugins available for Django. In the world of Python, many popular web frameworks exist. Ruby on Rails 5, for example, took it even further and added support for action cables.
Robust web frameworks have begun supporting WebSockets out of the box. Web applications that want to provide real-time updates no longer have to poll the server for changes - instead, servers push changes down the stream as they happen. The days where you had to constantly press the reload button to receive updates from the server are long gone. In this example we will collect fields to a map end upload received files to some directory.With the increase in popularity of real-time web applications, WebSockets have become a key technology in their implementation. Or you may write your own MultipartDataHandler if that is not enough. You can use them to collect fields to a map, send a file to some ChannelConsumer, etc. There are several common handlers in MultipartDataHandler class.
You need to pass an instance of MultipartDataHandler to this method. To handle a request containing multipart data you may use HttpRequest#handleMultipart method. Such requests may contain multiple fields and files. POST requests sometimes may be encoded as Multipart/form-data.
