Receiving HTTP ERROR with Django Uploadify S3

Question

I am using Django Uplodify S3 and I am having issues getting it to work. Files start to upload (progress is shown), then they just either pause indefinitely or result in a 'Http Error'.

My python code is pretty much identical to the example code given. I am running this on my local machine with the dev server.

I keep getting HTTP error 400, Amazon is reporting that there are extra fields in the POST request that I have not specified in my policy.

After looking at the link mouad provided, I made some changes to my policy to try and include all the files I should be, but I am not sure if I have declared them properly as the documentation for the Django Uploadfiy module is a bit unclear. Here's what I have:

@render
def upload_example(request, object_id):

    options = {"onError":"function (a,b,c,d) {alert('Error: '+d.type+'      Info: '+d.info)} "}
    key_pattern = 'example-%s/${filename}' % object_id
    post_data={
        'key': key_pattern,
        'success_action_status': "201",
        "starts-with": object_id
        }

    #
    # S3 uses conditions to validate the upload data. DUS3 automatically constructs
    # and includes conditions for most of the elements that will be sent to S3, but you 
    # need to pass in conditions for:
    #   - 'key', whose value changes at upload time. Note that the condition's value
    #     must correspond to the key pattern set above.
    #   - any extra elements set at upload time
    #
    # See the DUS3 README for more information on the conditions mapping:
    #   https://github.com/sbc/django-uploadify-s3
    #

    conditions={
        'key': {    'op': 'starts-with',
                    'value': ["$Filename", "$folder", "$key", "$Filedata", "$starts-with", "$Upload"], }
        }

    uploadify_options = uploadify_s3.UploadifyS3(
                            uploadify_options = options,
                            post_data=post_data, 
                            conditions=conditions
                            ).get_options_json()

    return ['s3.html', {"opt": uploadify_options}]

The part I am most concerned about is 'key', whose value changes at upload time. Note that the condition's value 'key', whose value changes at upload time. Note that the condition's value . I am not sure how I should be declaring the value of key . The documentation is not very clear at all.

And then here is the error log from Amazon:

Answer 1

This might be a long shot, but have you tried renaming the field from file_upload to file ?

Answer 2

I believe your upload needs to be changed from 'filedata' to be named 'file'.
