Send image using socket programming Python

Question

I am trying to send an image file using socket programming in python. I am able to send a text file. But I have been trying to send an image file, by opening it and reading

Answer 1

I ran the same code on my system (Ubuntu 11.10) and I found that, there is a problem with sending size as a string. When I inserted logic to handle that part, it ran smoothly. I could open the file also. This is how I could solve your problem : 1st change in client code(client.py) is while accepting size and sending acknowledgement about it :-

size = ' '
while(1):
   tmpsize = client_socket.recv(1)
   if tmpsize.isdigit() == True:
      print "Here : ",tmpsize
      size += tmpsize
   else:
      break

client_socket.send("received")

2nd change is in server side(server.py) code, to accept acknowledgement :-

client_socket.send(size)
ack = client_socket.recv(1024)
if ack == "received":
   client_socket.send (strng)

I hope this will help you to solve your problem.
