Hi,

You must know the parameter name F under which the PERL script expects the file. In a HTML form F is the name of the file input field. You have to give this name F as the name of the part.

Your code should probably be (but you have to check with your PERL script really):

File targetFile = new File(sXMLFilename);
Part[] parts1 = { new FilePart("filenm", targetFile) };

Hope that helps

Hi, I am trying to upload XML files via HTTP to an
HTTP server from java client instead of browser. On
the HTTP server side, there is a Perl script that will
be receiving the incoming file and files it into the
designated folders in the server.When I run the Java
client, I get the response Status = 200 and also
uploaded replies from the Perl script but when I
checked in the folder, the XML file is 0 KB. I am not
sure what went wrong. Spending a few days now looking
into it but no luck.
Please help shed some light. Below are the some of the
codes and responses:

public class UploadXMLFile {

String sXMLFilename = "c:\\Test.xml";

PostMethod filePost1 = new
PostMethod("http://000.000.000.000/cgi-bin/upload.pl";);

File targetFile = new File(sXMLFilename);

Part[] parts1 = { new StringPart("filenm",
sXMLFilename), new FilePart(targetFile.getName(),
targetFile) };
filePost1.setRequestEntity (new
MultipartRequestEntity(parts1,
filePost1.getParams()));
      HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(5000);
      int status = client.executeMethod(filePost1);
      System.out.println("Status = " + status);

if (status == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
   System.out.println("Upload complete, response =" +
filePost1.getResponseBodyAsString());
} else {
   System.out.println("Upload failed, response =" +
HttpStatus.getStatusText(status));
   }

filePost1.releaseConnection();

}

The perl program accepts "filenm" as a parameter when
uploading the file. The response that I get is:

Status = 200
Upload complete, response =
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Thanks!</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P>Thank you. We have received your file! Test.xml </P> </BODY> </HTML>
Hope someone can help me on this. Thanks in advance.
