I'm working on a POST method handler in Django that deals with uploaded files, and I want to ensure that the file is a valid zip file before continuing.
My current code snippet looks like this:
@login_required(login_url="login/")
def upload(request):
if request.method == 'POST' and request.FILES['upload_file']:
uploaded_file = request.FILES['upload_file']
print type(uploaded_file)
return render(request, 'upload.html', {'context': RequestContext(request)})
Right now, uploaded_file is shown as being of type
<class 'django.core.files.uploadedfile.InMemoryUploadedFile'>zipfile module, or could there be a way to validate without writing to disk?
Note: I've opted not to use the Django model with a FileField and Form for reasons unrelated to this specific issue.
