Attach csv file to django request

Question

I would like to add batch with csv file to a job in salesforce.com, according to docs. I use the following code to do that, but it does not work (no new objects appear in salesforce):

    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'text/csv; charset=UTF-8',
        'X-SFDC-Session': client.sessionId
    }
    (_, host, path, _, _, _) = urlparse("https://%s/services/async/24.0/job/%s/batch" % (instance, job_id))
    csv_file = open('test.csv', "rb")
    t = csv_file.read()
    conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(host)
    conn.request("POST", path, t, headers)
    response = conn.getresponse()
    rawResponse = response.read()

How can I attach file to request and send it?

You want to attach a file to the **request** as in attach a file to **conn.request** ? Or do you want to attach a file to the **django response** ? I'm wondering if this is a question about httplib or django... the tags state "django" rather than "httplib" — jpic, May 17 '12 at 09:25
@jpic: I want to send file to salesforce.com so I want to attach it to request not response. You are right about tags. — szaman, May 17 '12 at 09:34

The thing with the HTTP protocol, is that it requires some boilerplate to generate an HTTP request with attached binary contents.

Either use the poster lib, either reuse a lower level code snippet as there are plenty.

the records aren't processed until you update the job status to indicate you've uploaded all the batches in the job. see the quickstart in the docs
