Async, streaming, multipart file uploads about requests-futures

[ross]

of those two links, i believe the 2nd (streaming, data=) is the route you want to take to avoid loading it all in to memory. that said the server will need to accept the data as the body of the request, it won't be form-multipart-encoded which might be why that route isn't working for you. (it's a different way of handling the data.)

the comment at the end of the 1st link seems to point to another package that helps with multipart encoding of large files. i haven't tried it, but that seems to be what you'd be looking for.

"In the event you are posting a very large file as a multipart/form-data request, you 
may want to stream the request. By default, requests does not support this, but there 
is a separate package which does - requests-toolbelt. You should read the toolbelt’s 
documentation for more details about how to use it."

regardless of route the solution shouldn't be specific to requests-futures as it does it's best to give you raw access to requests without getting in the way.

Alright, requests-toolbelt works great with request-futures, thanks for the pointer!
