Default Django-ajax-uploader With S3 Backend Gives Malformedxml Error

I set up a test script almost exactly like in the example here: https://github.com/GoodCloud/django-ajax-uploader It seems to start uploading the file (javascript updates the name

Solution 1:

I solved this problem with a custom s3 backend that override the upload function & use django-storages instead of boto to save files. try this :

from ajaxuploader.backends.base import AbstractUploadBackend
from django.core.files.storage import default_storage

class S3CustomUpload(AbstractUploadBackend):
    NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSES = 4

    def upload_chunk(self, chunk):
        #save file to s3
        self._fd.write(chunk)
        self._fd.close()

    def setup(self, filename):
        self._fd = default_storage.open('%s/%s' % ('uploads/materials/', str(filename)), 'wb')

    def upload(self, uploaded, filename, raw_data, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            if raw_data:
                # File was uploaded via ajax, and is streaming in.
                chunk = uploaded.read(self.BUFFER_SIZE)
                while len(chunk) > 0:
                    self.upload_chunk(chunk, *args, **kwargs)
                    chunk = uploaded.read(self.BUFFER_SIZE)
            else:
                # File was uploaded via a POST, and is here.
                for chunk in uploaded.chunks():
                    self.upload_chunk(chunk, *args, **kwargs)
            return True
        except:
            # things went badly.
            return False

    def upload_complete(self, request, filename, *args, **kwargs):
        upload = Upload()
        upload.upload = settings.S3_URL + "uploads/materials/"+ filename
        upload.name = filename
        upload.save()

        return {'pk': upload.pk}
