Hi guys, I have a demand to implement a simple FileUploader app on top of mozilla/necko. My initial goal is to have something like
% ./myUploader <server> <local_file> basically just like TestUpload does (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/test/TestUpload.cpp). Maybe some changes on TestUpload example could be enough to get what I want. On my local webserver, I have some simple html/php file uploader running and I tried to make TestUpload to work with it. Doing: % ./myUploader <my_server/uploader.php> <path_to_any_local_file> I can reach the server, but I got a HTTP BAD REQUEST from apache. After chatting to <biesi> on irc, he told me that before uploading over http I would have to manually mime-encode my data, just like form submission does (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/html/content/src/nsFormSubmission.cpp#1197), but I am not sure how could I manually do this mime-encode from TestUpload code, once it seems that there is no API for that. How could that be possible ? An MDC article titled "Creating Sandboxed HTTP Connections" (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_Sandboxed_HTTP_Connections) teaches something similar, but it enctype with "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" but as far as I understood, in my specific case, data has to be mime-enconded with "multipart/form-data". Maybe it could be done like libcurl does (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html , ctrl+f "HTTP POSTing") , which abstracts a html <form> behaviour. Any clues ? -- --Antonio Gomes _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
