Redmine file uploader

SUMMARY While the REST API of Redmine 1.3.x and earlier don't provide a way to upload files in the 'Files' section of a project, I created this script. It can be useful in automatic upload of builds as part of implementing continuous integration. This script should become obsolete once this feature is included in the REST API of Redmine. Please refer to http://www.redmine.org/issues/7725 for the feature request in the Redmine tracker.

COMPATIBILITY Tested using ...:

• Python v2.6, v2.7
• mechanize for Python v0.1.11 - http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/
• Redmine v1.3.0, v1.3.1

HELP Usage of the tool is explained by invoking it with --help, i.e.: ./upload_file_to_redmine.py --help

EXAMPLES $ ./upload_file_to_redmine.py -f myfile.bin -d "some description" \ -l "https://redmine.example.net/" -p prjid -u someuser \ -w some_password

TODO

• Ability to use a config file and overriding using command line arguments.
• Provide password on the stdin instead as an argument as this is a security flaw - everyone on the system can read the process table.
