Re: POST method on localhost

Hi!

Yes that is realistic in the sense that it takes a couple of seconds to upload a 1GB file to localhost. It should take a small amount of time, because it is just copying the file (through django) to the directory you specified.

However uploading a 1 GB file to a web server on the Internet isn't feasible. It would probably take to long to upload and the connection would time out - unless you do a bit of magic on the connections. 

So, my question to you is what are you trying to accomplish? What is the purpose of your test?

Regards,

Andréas

I've created a simple form for data upload.  I'm testing it through localhost and was wondering if this is realistic.  Web development is a new area for me so bare with me please if this is a laughable question.  I uploaded a 1GB file and it was uploaded and moved to a folder in my project in a matter of a few seconds.

def simple_upload(request):
    if request.method =='POST' and request.FILES['myfile']:
        myfile = request.FILES['myfile']
        fs = FileSystemStorage()
        filename = fs.save(myfile.name, myfile)
        uploaded_file_url = fs.url(filename)
        return render(request, 'simple_upload.html', {
            'uploaded_file_url': uploaded_file_url
    })

    return render(request, 'simple_upload.html')

{% load static %}

{% block content %}
  <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <input type="file" name="myfile">
    <button type="submit">Upload</button>
  </form>

  {% if uploaded_file_url %}
    <p>File uploaded at: <a href="{{ uploaded_file_url }}">{{ uploaded_file_url }}</a></p>
  {% endif %}

  <p><a href="{% url 'dashboard' %}">Return to home</a></p>
{% endblock %}

Thanks!
