Uploading GPX File via API

mmr · 2010-09-18T11:46:01.000Z

hi,

I am trying to upload a GPX file to the public dev server via the API. Unfortunately I am only getting as response a 500 error code. I sniffed the network traffic. Maybe someone can see the error reason or can give me a hint.

Regards

Michael

mmr:

I am trying to upload a GPX file to the public dev server via the API.

With what kind of program? Script? Language?

Please give an exact link to the documentation of that API.

Unfortunately I am only getting as response a 500 error code.

Nothing more? Not a description of the error? If not then did you look up what this error means? Please tell.

If this is your own program or script: wouldn’t it be better you showed your code?

In my case python. I want to write a logger for my Symbian Phone.
Should be part of my IGCLogger.

In my post before you see the complete Error message.

The python code:

from poster.encode import multipart_encode #http://atlee.ca/software/poster/
from poster.streaminghttp import register_openers
import urllib2
import base64
opener = register_openers()
params = {‘file’: open(“D:\Data\IGC\mini.gpx”, “r”),‘description’:‘no description’,‘tags’:‘no tags’,“visibility”:“private”}

datagen, headers = multipart_encode(params)

request = urllib2.Request(“http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/gpx/create”, datagen, headers)
#auth = base64.encodestring(‘%s:%s’ % (‘my username’, ‘secret’))[:-1] # not sure using email or username
auth = “top secret” # i use the string which josm has send
request.add_header(‘Authorization’, ‘Basic %s’ % auth ) # Add Auth header to request
request.add_header(‘User-Agent’, ‘JOSM/1.5 (4091 SVN de) Java/1.6.0_23’ ) # for testing josm as user agent
request.add_header(‘Accept’, ‘text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, /; q=.2’) # like josm did

result = urllib2.urlopen(request)
