Extract file from file storage object in flask

I am learning how to work with file uploads in flask. Earlier from here, i worked with pdf file uploads and read the contents of it. This happens inside client.py file.

Now i would like to pass my file from client to server that is running locally. When i use request.file, it will get it as FileStorage Object. So, without saving or providing file path, i want to upload file from client and pass it to the server to do further process.

class mainSessRunning():
     def proces(input):
     ...
     ...
     return result

run = mainSessRunning()

@app.route('/input', methods=['POST'])
def input():
    input_file = request.files['file']
   ...(extract file from filestorage object "input_file")...
    result = run.process(file) ## process is user defined function 
    return (result)

here i want to send the incoming file through process() function to server running locally. How do i do this? I came across same question but couldn't able to find anything

What do you mean "extract"? If you want get the bytes of file, you can use content = request.files['file'].read().

And then send this content to any where you want: res = requests.post(url, content)

import os
import json
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, request, redirect, jsonify
from PIL import Image


Upload = 'static/upload'
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['uploadFolder'] = Upload


@app.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template("Index.html")

@app.route("/upload", methods = ['POST', 'GET'])
def upload():
    file = request.files['imgfile']
    filename = file.filename
    file.save(os.path.join(app.config['uploadFolder'], file.filename))
    print(file.filename)
    img = Image.open(file)
    li = []
    li = img.size
    imgobj = {
    "name" : filename,
    "width" : li[0],
    "height" : li[1]
    }
    json_data = json.dumps(imgobj)
    with open('jsonfile.json', 'w') as json_file:
        json.dump(imgobj, json_file)
    return render_template('index.html', filename = filename) # comment this line to only get the json data.
    # return render_template('index.html', json_data = json_data) # uncomment this line to get only json data.




if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug = True, port = 4455)
