Equivalent of curl --data-binary in python?

Question

What is the equivalent of:

curl --data-binary @myjarfile.jar localhost:10000/acceptjar

In python with the requests api?

The .jar file is a binary file that gets "posted" to a server that expects to receive the jar file.

Answer 1

This doesn't handle errors, but should post a file to a server as an octet stream:

import requests
res = requests.post(url='http://example.com/post',
                    data=open('example.file', 'rb'),
                    headers={'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'})
