Hi guys,

import httplib, urllib, e32, appuifw

def send_data(): #function to send the data to the server.

f=open('e:/file1.txt','rt')
test1=f.read()
params = urllib.urlencode({'data': test1})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.myadd.com")
conn.request("POST", "/pys60/set_txt.php", params, headers)
conn.close()
e32.ao_yield()
appuifw.note(u"Data sent", "info")

def quit(): #exit function
script_lock.signal()

appuifw.app.menu = [(u"send data", send_data)]

appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = quit
script_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
script_lock.wait()

this is the code i am using for data sending from pys60 to server.

the problem is i am not able to send data more than about 1 mb at a time.

i want to send more data around 5-10 mb

can somebody help me

Thanks
Cyan !

hello mt.jijo

whats the error you are getting when you are sending that huge amount of data to the server. Actually long ago i also faced that sort of problem when uploading some photos using Python but that was my connection problem.

So what error you are getting??

hi Gaba,
i am getting a connetion timed out error when i tried with 5 mb of data but it works fine for 1 mb and less
is there any data limit for httpconnection?

Thanks

hello mt.jijo

oh i guess that is a connectivity problem only but i am not aware of the limitations of httplib when it comes to uploading of data.

BTW if you are uploading some sort of images or higher size data then you need a different php script at the server.

Moreover there are some more methods at the wiki which help in uploading the data, do check them.

Hi all !

Two suggestions:

• Increase application heap (how is your heap size ?)
• Make a raw socket connection (instead using urllib) and send the file in chunks.

I dont know if we have such limit in urllib ... searching ...

There may be several limits on the server, e.g. if you are using Apache + PHP on the server side:
- max_execution_time
- max_input_time
- post_max_size
- upload_max_filesize

Other web servers may have similar limits.

Hi,

Its not the probelm in http connection .If u r using gprs then its not possible to send heavy size of data .

Hi mt.jijo,

You have to send data over server chunks by chunks it mean you have to fixed chunk size like 100 KB or so on.

hope this may be help.
