how to use splunk appserver receive and save files

Hi Splunker,

Today, I refer to this link https://wiki.splunk.com/Community:40GUIDevelopment to develop the interface. I use the python library requests to upload the file, and use the CherryPy of Splunk to receive the file. But I can't receive and save the file. I printed the parameter content, but I didn't receive any parameter. Here is my code。

I use the python library requests to upload the file

def forwardFile(self, filePath, fileName, url): files = {'ufile': open(os.path.join(filePath, fileName), 'rb')} data = {'xxx':'aaa','xxdd':'bbb'} headers = {} headers["content-type"] = 'multipart/form-data' r = requests.post(url, files=files,data=data ,headers=headers, verify=False) logger.info(r)

use the CherryPy of Splunk to receive the file

@route('/:action=receive') @expose_page(must_login=False, methods=['GET','POST']) @cherrypy.expose def receive(self, **kwargs): logger.info("111") logger.info(kwargs) logger.info("222")

then i see the file web_service.log

2020-10-15 23:21:07,472 INFO [5f8868e36d107834250] <string>:68 - hello world:http://127.0.0.1 2020-10-15 23:21:07,501 INFO [5f8868e37f107d00ad0] <string>:145 - 111 2020-10-15 23:21:07,501 INFO [5f8868e37f107d00ad0] <string>:146 - {'action': 'receive'} 2020-10-15 23:21:07,501 INFO [5f8868e37f107d00ad0] <string>:147 - 222 2020-10-15 23:21:07,507 INFO [5f8868e36d107834250] <string>:79 - <Response [200]>

How to get the value of ufile ？

then i can save it.

That wiki page is very old (4 major versions!) so I would be very careful about using anything you read there. CherryPy is deprecated in Splunk 8 so that's another reason to try a different approach.

Please describe what you want to accomplish and perhaps someone will have a modern way to do it.
