Installation
Install via pip:
pip install django-chunked-upload
And then add it to your Django INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ...
'chunked_upload',
)
Typical usage
An initial POST request is sent to the url linked to ChunkedUploadView (or any subclass) with the first chunk of the file. The name of the chunk file can be overriden in the view (class attribute field_name). Example:
{"my_file": <File>}
In return, server with response with the upload_id, the current offset and the when will the upload expire (expires). Example:
{ "upload_id": "5230ec1f59d1485d9d7974b853802e31", "offset": 10000, "expires": "2013-07-18T17:56:22.186Z" }
Repeatedly POST subsequent chunks using the upload_id to identify the upload to the url linked to ChunkedUploadView (or any subclass). Example:
{ "upload_id": "5230ec1f59d1485d9d7974b853802e31", "my_file": <File> }
Server will continue responding with the upload_id, the current offset and the expiration date (expires).
Finally, when upload is completed, a POST request is sent to the url linked to ChunkedUploadCompleteView (or any subclass). This request must include the upload_id and the md5 checksum (hex). Example:
{ "upload_id": "5230ec1f59d1485d9d7974b853802e31", "md5": "fc3ff98e8c6a0d3087d515c0473f8677" }
If everything is OK, server will response with status code 200 and the data returned in the method get_response_data (if any).
Possible error responses:
User is not authenticated. Server responds 403 (Forbidden).
Upload has expired. Server responds 410 (Gone).
upload_id does not match any upload. Server responds 404 (Not found).
No chunk file is found in the indicated key. Server responds 400 (Bad request).
Request does not contain Content-Range header. Server responds 400 (Bad request).
Size of file exceeds limit (if specified). Server responds 400 (Bad request).
Offsets does not match. Server responds 400 (Bad request).
md5 checksums does not match. Server responds 400 (Bad request).
