File upload through API returns Internal server error

[oniskanen]

What were you doing?

I'm trying to use the OctoPrint API to upload files to the local folder on the RaspberryPi running OctoPrint. Here's an example request: http://pastebin.com/iLGHQSSu

Here's the GCODE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BybDJjp-fX5wX0ZjWnJtckhiLUE/view?usp=sharing

What did you expect to happen?

The file to be uploaded to RaspberryPi.

What happened instead?

The request returns HTTP 500, Internal server error. According to web UI, file upload wasn't successful. The error from octoprint.log:

Huh. It appears to be caused by the Content-Type line for your print parameter. I can reproduce the same error with a minimal example:

POST /api/files/local HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:5000
User-Agent: UnityPlayer/5.4.1f1 (http://unity3d.com)
Accept: */*

Content-disposition: form-data; name="print"

false
--sd4ibZFCpcreuTHRApjktFt7IKoRYB9jI33dPfSD--

With the Content-Type line, error:

without it, no error:

    }
  }
}

Stack trace in octoprint.log is the same as your's. It crashes not within OctoPrint, but within the underlying Flask, when attempting to read potential request query parameters. That's not going to be a lot of fun I fear.

Fixed on maintenance and devel branches, will be part of the next release.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the effort 👍

Forgot to close this when 1.2.17 was released
