I am working on an app to process emails hitting my mailbox. I have modified my mail settings to forward incoming mails to myapp. The mails reaching myapp will be routed to the handler script ("handle_incoming_email.py") where it will be processed. My app.yaml file looks like this
app.yaml
application: myapp
version: 1-1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: false
default_expiration: "360d"
handlers:
- url: /_ah/mail/.+
script: myapp/utils/handle_incoming_email.py
The mail handler script is given below
handle_incoming_email.py
import logging
import urllib
import base64
import traceback
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext import blobstore
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.mail_handlers import InboundMailHandler
class ReceiveEmail(InboundMailHandler):
def receive(self, message):
try:
for filename, filecontents in message.attachments:
if filecontents.encoding:
# data = filecontents
data = filecontents.decode()
# data = filecontents.payload
# data = filecontents.payload.decode()
# data = base64.b64decode(filecontents.decode())
# data = base64.b64decode(filecontents.payload)
# data = base64.b64decode(filecontents.payload.decode())
upload_url = blobstore.create_upload_url('http://myapp.appspot.com/settings/saveItem/')
form_fields = {'field_name': data}
form_data = urllib.urlencode(form_fields)
result = urlfetch.fetch(url=upload_url,
payload=form_data,
method=urlfetch.POST,
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})
logging.info(result)
except Exception, e:
traceback.print_exc()
application = webapp.WSGIApplication([ReceiveEmail.mapping()], debug=True)
def main():
run_wsgi_app(application)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
My requirement is to create an entity corresponding to each mail with attachment. For this, I need to parse the attachment from the mail and upload it to blobstore. However, when I try to upload the attachment to blobstore, I get the following error:
The request's content type is not accepted on this URL.
As you can see in the commented code in "handle_incoming_email.py", I tried different methods (trial-and-error) to get the data correct, but to no avail.
Could someone guide me in fixing this!
Thanks!!!
