python flask request.form 400 错误请求

Question

I have a problem with flask. There is a api, post method, I just want to get the form data through request.form... throw a 400 bad request. I don't know what's in the form that's causing this exception.

Does anyone know what the cause is? help me

And here is part of the code and error message for the python flask application.

# python:2.7.5
# Werkzeug==0.14.1
from flask import Flask, request_started, request

def request_started_handler(sender, **extra):
    request_form = str(request.form)
    print(request_form)

app = Flask(__name__)
request_started.connect(request_started_handler, app)

@app.route('/upload')
def hello_world():
    api_args = tuple(request.values.lists())
    print(api_args)
    return '<b>Hello World</b>'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

Answer 1

I think the problem is related to

request.form 

Flask will raise a werkzeug.exceptions.BadRequestKeyError exception when request.form['key'] or the key value doesn't exist in the request.form.

I recommend you to use

request.form.get("something", False)

to avoid that error and you will get None as default value if the key doesn't exist.

Maybe the form tag dosen't contains:

enctype='multipart/form-data'

[Edit] Flask sets request.data or request.form for POST requests. Both are dictionaries. For parameters embedded within the POST request as a form:

request_form_dict = request.form
for key in request_form_dict :
    print ('form key is :'+request_form_dict[key])
