Upload zip or tar.gz file in POST

[guzman109]

I have the following to be able to upload a .tar.gz file.
@post("/upload", media_type="application/x-gtar") async def upload(self, data: Annotated[UploadFile, Body(media_type=RequestEncodingType.MULTI_PART)] ) -> dict[str, Any]: return { "File Name": data.filename, "Content Type": data.content_type, "Headers": data.headers }
However, I keep getting 500 internal server errors. Am I implementing this correctly?

media_type is used to serialize whatever you return from the handler upload. Litestar does not know how to serialize dict[str, Any] into a tar file which is why it fails.

media_type is not used to indicate that your route accepts tar gz files.

You can remove media_type and you will notice that you can indeed upload a file and get a json response
