Jet API bulk JSON upload: The magic number in GZip header is not correct

I attempted to contact Jet directly and was told to “try using 7zip to gzip the file” and then received no further responses (despite further questions).

Here's the error code:

"error_excerpt": [
    "Error parsing file: The magic number in GZip header is not correct. Make sure you are passing in a GZip stream."
  ],

Here's what I'm trying:

def file_upload_url(self, url, filename, data):
    headers = {"x-ms-blob-type": "blockblob"}
    magic_number = open(filename, 'rb').read(2) # shows that magic number is correct for .gz file
    print `magic_number`
    with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
        file_data=f.read()
    response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, files={ "test.json.gz": file_data }) 
    # i've also tried data={"test.json.gz": file_data}

Which then you check with another call. The file was gzipped from the Ubuntu command line (to rule out Python's gzip module causing the problem).

Here is the documentation provided: https://developer.jet.com/docs/

I've implemented every other function without the slightest hiccup but this is just not working. Only thing I can think of is that I'm somehow sending the file data incorrectly. But I can't seem to figure out how.

The .json file was confirmed to be valid from the Jet representative.

Figured out the answer. Must make sure to ONLY put the binary data (not a dictionary, like for files) inside the data parameter in requests.

making it:

def file_upload_url(self, url, filename, data):
    headers = {"x-ms-blob-type": "blockblob"}
    with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
        file_data=f.read()
    response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=file_data)

Nice and easy.
