Serve and upload blobs using the same URL

Question

I am using the python version of Google AppEngine. I want to be able to be able to serve and upload blobs from/into the blobstore using the same URL. As an example, lets say a user can upload a display picture for himself. A GET request to /user/USERNAME/avatar will return the image, whilst a POST request to the same URL will set it.

AFAIK, this isn't possible, as each action requires a different kind of handler.

Sure, I could just use two handlers, but that's a kludge, and I have OCD when it comes to these things.

Answer 1

This isn't possible, not because of handler 'kinds' - these are just convenience subclasses that do some extra work for you - but because uploads have to be to a specific, runtime-generated URL.
