Hi all, I have a problem with a multipart post that I am doing to a third party webserver. I am using a MultiPartPostMethod and adding parts to it by the following :
Hashtable params = transferObj.getPostParams(); HttpMethod method; if (transferObj.isMultipartForm()) { method = new MultipartPostMethod(transferObj.getTargetURL().toString()); for (Enumeration e = params.elements(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) { Hashtable partParams = (Hashtable) e.nextElement(); String field = (String) partParams.get("fieldName"); if (partParams.containsKey("isFile")) { //file part byte[] data = ( (ByteArrayOutputStream) partParams.get(CONTENT_VALUE)). toByteArray(); String name = (String) partParams.get("fileName"); String encoding = (String) partParams.get(CONTENT_ENC); ByteArrayPartSource part = new ByteArrayPartSource(name, data); FilePart filePart = new FilePart(field, part); ( (MultipartPostMethod) method).addPart(filePart); } else { //string part String data = (String) partParams.get(CONTENT_VALUE); System.out.println("setting "+field+"="+data); StringPart part = new StringPart(field,data); ( (MultipartPostMethod) method).addPart(part); } } This correctly gets me my multipart request which I send to the server. The problem is that the third party server doesnt seem to fully understand the format of the post data. It responds in xml with part of the encoding information still there, for example: <TARGET="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit AB-031717-01693-1"/> when the data supplied as the field parameter above is "AB-031717-01693-1" and the XML response should be <TARGET="AB-031717-01693-1"/> I am using the latest rc ( httpclient 2.0-rc1). I have two questions: Firstly, is this a bug or a problem with the target server? secondly, if it is a problem with the target server, how can I disable the output of the Content-Transfer-Encoding part of the multipart data?
