For simple interaction with a server, your "os.system" example may work. If the command between the quotes (' ') works in a shell on the command line, it should work there.

There is more sophisticated interaction that can be done with pycurl a package available in python.

Perhaps, if we could examine the errors returned by "curl" we could identify what is wrong. Try adding the '-v' (verbose) option to the command line of curl to get more information. It could be anything from bad server SSL authentication, to unknown URL, to unacceptable input with your "POST" request.

Ok. There is something weird going on with the curl command, i have tried several different :

Code:

[B]curl --user xxxxxx:xxxxxxx [url]https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/postfile[/url] -F myfile=~/kismet-logs/*[/B]

When you fill in an HTML form with curl, you first have to determine a few requirements:

the URL to which the form will be sent
whether to use the GET or POST methods
which encoding method is expected
the name of each <input> field and button

Looking at the HTML of the form in question here, we see this line:

Code:

<form action="/gps/gps/main/confirmfile/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Now we have the first three requirements:

URL is http://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/confirmfile/
method is POST
encoding type is multipart/form-data

What remains is to find the necessary <input> fields and buttons. These will usually be in the format

Code:

<input type="[I]some-type[/I]" name="[I]field-name[/I]" value="[I]default-value[/I]" . . . >

Because this is a multipart/form-data form, we have to include the -F (or --form) parameter, once for each field and button on the form. Note that -F is not simply for a file name, as it appears you suspect. Also, curl's other form-filling parameter, -d (or --data), is for form type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which is not the correct one for the form you're asking about.

Furthermore, you can't use the -u (or --user) parameter the way you think. This parameter works for basic, digest, or SSPI authentication, but it will not work for forms authentication. We can see that the page is using forms authentication because the HTML contains fields for that purpose and does not contain any of the HTML commands that specify other kinds of authentication. Therefore, we have to use the -F parameter to supply the login data, too.

I see four fields of importance:

Code:

user: <input type="text" [B]name="observer"[/B] value="anonymous" size="10" maxlength="10">

password: <input type="password" [B]name="password"[/B] size="10" maxlength="32">

Set file to upload: <input type="file" [B]name="stumblefile"[/B] size="42">

Send button: <input type="Submit" [B]name="Send"[/B] value="Send">

The curl syntax for filling in form fields follows follows this syntax:

Code:

-F field-name=value

Where field-name is the field name you see in the HTML and value is the data you want to supply in the field.

If you want the form to upload the contents of a file, place an @ sign in front of the file name:

Code:

-F field-name=@/path/to/file

where /path/to/file is the file you wish to send along with the form.

I created a 10K file of random garbage generated thusly:

Code:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=junk.txt bs=10K count=1

Then I tried uploading it anonymously, which worked:

Code:

steve@t520:~$ [B]curl -v -F observer=anonymous -F stumblefile=@junk.txt -F Send=Send https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/confirmfile/[/B]
. . .
<h2>Upload Results</h2>
<p>File 'junk.txt' uploaded successfully! (10240 bytes)<br>
Thanks!<p>
File: 1368240133_junk.txt Transaction ID :20130510-00479<p>
. . .

If you had an account there, the command you'd use is:

Code:

curl -F observer=[I]your-user-name[/I] -F password=[I]your-password[/I] -F stumblefile=@[I]/path/to/file[/I] -F Send=Send https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/confirmfile/

So it appears you can accomplish your task with a single curl command, without having to wrap it inside a Python script.

Thanks for the help!

This is how my script ended up, sadly this forum messes up the code a bit.

Code:

#wardrive-led-controll
#This is a Python script that controlls the leds on a
#Berryclip connected to the GPIO header on a
#Rasberry Pi model B.
#It checks if kismet_server and gpsd is running,and controlls LED1 and LED2 accordingly.
#It also does upload the logfiles if the switch
#connected to pin 26/GPIO07 is momentarily toggled.
#Notes:
#WARNING! wardriving may not be legal in your country, so CHECK THE LOCAL LAWS!
#Your wlan node must be in reach, and have a good stable signal for upload to work!
#wpa_supplicant.conf must be configured correctly!
#The name of the wlan interface you are using must be correct, its normally wlan0.
#kimset_server or kismet and gpsd must be auto-started at boot.
#kismet_server must be configured correctly,running as SUID and log to netxml and gpsxml.
#A GPS reciver that is compatilble with gpsd must be connected to one of the USB ports.
#A usb wlan dongle that is supported in Debian/linux must be connected with USB.
#Anyone can improve this script and correct it,if they share it with the rest of the world.
#
#
#The Berryclips pinout is:
#LED 1 - Pin 7 - GPIO4
#LED 2 - Pin 11 - GPIO17
#LED 3 - Pin 15 - GPIO22
#LED 4 - Pin 19 - GPIO10
#LED 5 - Pin 21 - GPIO9
#LED 6 - Pin 23 - GPIO11
#Buzzer - Pin 24 - GPIO8
#Switch - Pin 26 - GPIO7
#To do: Implement flashing of LED6 every time kismet detects a WLAN packet. I dont have the
#knowledge of how to do that.
#Perhaps via kismets tuntap interface ?
#Implement controll of LED3, if the gps connected to gpsd has a position fix.
#Sadly my knowledge of python is extremely small.
