After searching for how to POST large files using python, I came across this and I wrote a program based on that, but when I run it I get the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Test3.py", line 187, in <module>
main()
File "Test3.py", line 184, in main

raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
and here is my code, to run the program I use --upload "path_to_file" [space] "filename". I'm new to python programming so most of this still confuses me.
def do_upload(options, args):
url = 'http://127.0.0.1/test_server/upload'
path = args[0]
# print path
filename = args[1]
if not os.access(args[0], os.F_OK):
print "Directory/file Doesn't exist"
exit(1)
os.chdir(path)
f = open(filename, 'rb')
mmapped_file_as_string = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0, access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)
request = urllib2.Request(url, mmapped_file_as_string)
contenttype = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0]
request.add_header(contenttype, 'application/octet-stream')
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
#close everything
mmapped_file_as_string.close()
f.close()
UPDATE
I have changed the code from above and now I'm getting some socket error.
Updated code
