Django File Upload with Async Views - Corrupted File Uploaded and Missing Data
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working on a Django application that uses async views to handle file uploads. Despite following the documentation, I'm working with issues where the uploaded files are corrupted and some data is missing. I'm using Django 4.1 and `httpx` for asynchronous requests. Here's a snippet of my upload view: ```python from django.http import JsonResponse from django.views import View from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async class AsyncFileUploadView(View): async def post(self, request): file = request.FILES.get('file') if not file: return JsonResponse({'behavior': 'No file provided'}, status=400) await self.save_file(file) return JsonResponse({'message': 'File uploaded successfully'}) @sync_to_async def save_file(self, file): with open(f'/uploads/{file.name}', 'wb+') as destination: for chunk in file.chunks(): destination.write(chunk) ``` When I test the file upload, I use the following async request: ```python import httpx async def upload_file(file_path): async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client: with open(file_path, 'rb') as f: files = {'file': (f.name, f)} response = await client.post('http://localhost:8000/upload/', files=files) print(response.json()) ``` The upload seems successful, but when I try to open the uploaded file, it's corrupted and the content is not what I expected. I've also tried increasing the file size limit in Django settings, but the scenario continues. Is there something wrong with how the file is being read or written? Any help would be appreciated! The stack includes Python and several other technologies.
