In my python script I use: filedata = container.REQUEST.file.read() then merge this data into a MIME submission for the external web site, and on success, save it locally as a "file".

It is *highly dangerous* to start requests to external resources from a running Zope request, unless you make sure the external request has a timeout that kicks in if it hangs for any reason. Just four hanging external resource requests and your Zope site is dead because all available threads are in use... jens
