subprocess popen + curl + binary data
Question:
The following statement works as expected:
os.system("curl --data-binary @"+input_file_path+" -o "+ file_name +" localhost:30")
But when trying it with subprocess.popen:
Popen(['curl','--data-binary','@'+input_file_path, '-o', file_name,'localhost:30'], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]
Curl seems to hang up(logs into endless loop), like if the input file is not passed to it(which is mandatory for localhost:30 to function properly)…
Any ideas?
Answers:
You could try using the original string in subprocess.Popen with the additional keyword argument to Popen of shell=True:
subprocess.Popen("curl --data-binary @"+input_file_path+" -o "+ file_name +" localhost:30",
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
shell=True)
how about using a library instead of calling system’s curl?
How about using requests library
Or yet another
