How to send a “multipart/form-data” with requests in python?

Question

How to send a multipart/form-data with requests in python? How to send a file, I understand, but how to send the form data by this method can not understand.

Answer 1

Send multipart/form-data key and value

curl command:

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/xxx ...
-H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----xxx' \
-F taskStatus=1

python requests - More complicated POST requests:

    updateTaskUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/xxx"
    updateInfoDict = {
        "taskStatus": 1,
    }
    resp = requests.put(updateTaskUrl, data=updateInfoDict)

Send multipart/form-data file

curl command:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/xxx ...
-H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----xxx' \
-F file=@/Users/xxx.txt

python requests - POST a Multipart-Encoded File:

    filePath = "/Users/xxx.txt"
    fileFp = open(filePath, 'rb')
    fileInfoDict = {
        "file": fileFp,
    }
    resp = requests.post(uploadResultUrl, files=fileInfoDict)

that's all.
