Post a file to Flask by Curl via API

Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Curl is widely used in command lines or scripts to transfer data.
Different ways to use curl to post a file to a web server with samples (from both client-side and server: Python-Flask side) will be discussed because it took me a while on the server-side to receiving the data from client.
I would like to add samples of Python-requests, Postman later.

macOS Mojave
Python 3.7.2
Flask 1.0.2
Flask-RESTful 0.3.7

The Flask code:

# Py file name: simple.py
from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Api, Resource, reqparse
import werkzeug

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class kzwebfile(Resource):

 def post(self, filename):
pass

api.add_resource(kzwebfile, '/<string:filename>')

if __name__ == "__main__":
 app.run()
