(Chilkat2-Python) REST Upload Bandwidth Throttle

Demonstrates how to use upload bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will upload a file to Drobox using a file stream, with a limit on the bandwidth that can be used for the transfer.

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
# Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
# See Dropbox Access Token.

# To use bandwidth throttling, the connection should be made using the socket API.
# This provides numerous properties to customize the connection, such as
# BandwidthThrottleDown, BandwidthThrottleUp, ClientIpAddress, ClintPort, Http Proxy,
# KeepAlive, PreferIpv6, RequireSslCertVerify, SoRcvBuf, SoSndBuf, SoReuseAddr,
# SOCKS proxy, TcpNoSDelay, TlsPinSet, TlsCipherSuite, SslAllowedCiphers, etc.

socket = chilkat2.Socket()
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("content.dropboxapi.com",443,True,maxWaitMs)
if (success != True):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    print("Connect Fail Reason: " + str(socket.ConnectFailReason))
    sys.exit()

# Set the upload bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
socket.BandwidthThrottleUp = 50000

rest = chilkat2.Rest()

# Tell the REST object to use the connected socket.
rest.UseConnection(socket,True)

# The remainder of this example is identical to the example at:
# Dropbox File Stream Upload.

# Add request headers.
rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream")
rest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN")

# The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
# This is the JSON to be added in this example:
# { 
#    "path": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
#    "mode": "add",
#    "autorename": true,
#    "mute": false
# }

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.AppendString("path","/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml")
json.AppendString("mode","add")
json.AppendBool("autorename",True)
json.AppendBool("mute",False)
rest.AddHeader("Dropbox-API-Arg",json.Emit())

# Almost ready to go...
# Let's setup a file stream to point to a file.
fileStream = chilkat2.Stream()
fileStream.SourceFile = "qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml"

# Do the upload.  The URL is https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload.
# We already connected to content.dropboxapi.com using TLS (i.e. HTTPS),
# so now we only need to specify the path "/2/files/upload".

# Note: The file is streamed directly from disk.  (The entire
# file will not be loaded into memory.)
responseStr = rest.FullRequestStream("POST","/2/files/upload",fileStream)
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# When successful, Dropbox responds with a 200 response code.
if (rest.ResponseStatusCode != 200):
    # Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    print("response status code = " + str(rest.ResponseStatusCode))
    print("response status text = " + rest.ResponseStatusText)
    print("response header: " + rest.ResponseHeader)
    print("response body (if any): " + responseStr)
    print("---")
    print("LastRequestStartLine: " + rest.LastRequestStartLine)
    print("LastRequestHeader: " + rest.LastRequestHeader)
    sys.exit()

# The response is JSON.
jsonResp = chilkat2.JsonObject()
jsonResp.EmitCompact = False
jsonResp.Load(responseStr)

# Show the JSON response.
print(jsonResp.Emit())

# Returns JSON that looks like this:
# { 
#   "name": "hamlet.xml",
#   "path_lower": "/homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
#   "path_display": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
#   "id": "id:74FkdeNuyKAAAAAAAAAAAQ",
#   "client_modified": "2016-06-02T23:19:00Z",
#   "server_modified": "2016-06-02T23:19:00Z",
#   "rev": "9482db15f",
#   "size": 279658
# }

# Sample code to get data from the JSON response:
size = jsonResp.IntOf("size")
print("size = " + str(size))

rev = jsonResp.StringOf("rev")
print("rev = " + rev)

clientModified = jsonResp.StringOf("client_modified")
ckdt = chilkat2.CkDateTime()
ckdt.SetFromTimestamp(clientModified)
bLocalTime = True
# dt is a CkDtObj
dt = ckdt.GetDtObj(bLocalTime)
print(str(dt.Day) + "/" + str(dt.Month) + "/" + str(dt.Year) + " " + str(dt.Hour)\
     + ":" + str(dt.Minute))
