[Webware-discuss] corrupted gzip files

[Seth B. <se...@ge...>]

I'm getting corrupted files when I upload them.  Does this sound familiar to anybody?  Is this a webkit thing?

When it happens:
================
 Not for a small file (L.tgz ~ 30KB) but not for a larger one.
 It happens when I use apache or AppServer.  
 It happens whether I use Opera or Mozilla. 


The source file and the uploaded file are exactly the same size, but when I compare the two files byte by byte they are different starting at about 60KB.

Very confusing.  I've spent about a day searching the web for clues without success. Help!  Clues?


CODE
======================
submit snippet
---------
self.p('<br><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000000">')
self.p('<FORM ACTION="%s" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">' % self.url)


Import.py snippet (ignore spaces and tabs here)
-----------
inputfile = self.request().field(var)
fin=inputfile.file
fout=open("/tmp/out.tgz",'wb')

	def readBinary(fpin,fpout):
		bufsize = 8*1024		# I/O buffering size for copy to file
		fpin.seek(0)
		while 1:
			data = fpin.read(bufsize)
			if not data:
				fpin.close()
				break
			fpout.write(data)
		fpout.flush()

readBinary(fin,fout)
fout.close()
