[Tutor] Upload a file using python

[rakesh sharma]

Greetings!!
Hi Alan,
The error code was that of success. 200.Donno if the site supports a post method. It doesn't but is there any other way of automating the process.The issue of chrome 32 with selenium webdriver has stalled the show for me. Hence i had to fend for some other ways.
thanks,rakesh
