I have a page that allows a file upload which is passed to a script.

The page is ZPT and looks like :

<!-- Zope Page Template -->
<html>

    <head>
        <title tal:content=3D"template/title">The title</title>
   </head>

   <body>

        <h2>
           <span tal:condition=3D"template/title"
               tal:replace=3D"template/title">optional template title</span>
        </h2>

        <form action=3D"htpasswd_change.py"
            method=3D"POST"
            enctype=3D"multipart/form-data"
            >

            <input type=3D"file" size=3D"40" name=3D"FileData">
            <br>
            <input type=3D"submit" size=3D"40" name=3D"Submit">

        </form>

    </body>
</html>

The action is a Python Script that looks like this :

## Script (Python) "htpasswd_change.py"
##bind container=3Dcontainer
##bind context=3Dcontext
##bind namespace=3D
##bind script=3Dscript
##bind subpath=3Dtraverse_subpath
##parameters=3D
##title=3D
##

"""
Description   :
     Receive an uploaded 'htpasswd' file to be considered the authoritative
     authentication contents for the acl_users folder.
"""

request =3D container.REQUEST

try :
    the_file =3D request["FileData"]
    the_file.readlines  # just verify that the object is file-like
except KeyError :
    print "Error: a file must be specified"
    return printed

#
# Followed by the rest of the logic to parse the file and manipulate
# the acl_users folder.  The "success" output is also simply printed
# and the end is a 'return printed' line.
#

If Microsoft would build a car...
=2E.. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the car
windows, shut it off, restart it, and reopen the windows before you
could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
