HTTP 405 when posting file using OpenAI-Python to /api/v1/files

[gaby]

I started playing with openai-python for connecting to Open-WebUi and ran into multiple issues.

• Chat Completions seems to work fine out of the box but requires using base_url=https://hostname/api
• File Uploads do not work at all
  • The Open-WebUI hits POST /api/v1/files/, but openai-python uses POST /api/v1/files. I tried using a rewrite rule in nginx but the request just timeout and Open-WebUI never responds.
• The /api/v1/models returns an empty response.
• None of the official examples from OpenAI cookbook work for doing embedding when using Open-WebUI openai api.
• There's not /api/assistant endpoint, probably because it's in beta.
• Is it better to use /api/v1/files or use embeddings?

Example code that will fail with HTTP 405 wrong method when talking to Open-WebUI.

import os
from openai import OpenAI
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
base_url = "https://hostname/api"

client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key, base_url=base_url)
response = client.files.create(file=open("mydata.jsonl", "rb"),  purpose: "assistants")

Adding a rewrite rule to add the trailing slash, just makes the request timeout.

Anyone?

@tjbck Is this a known issue? I didn't create an issue since they always get shoved into discussions.

After further testing Open-WebUI doesn't have any OpenAI files endpoints. The format is not the same.
