Hello,
in one of the servlet of my web application I receive a multipart form,
from which I have to extract the file input stream and send it via PUT
to an existing servlet on an Alfresco repository.
I managed to accomplish this with httpclient 4.1, with the following
code fragment:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPut httpput = new HttpPut(uploadUrl) ;
InputStreamEntity entity = new
InputStreamEntity(is, -1) ;
httpput.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse alfResponse =
httpclient.execute(httpput);
HttpEntity resEntity = alfResponse.getEntity();
System.out.println("Status Line from alfresco:
" + alfResponse.getStatusLine().toString());
resEntity.getContent().close() ;
Unfortunately I have to use httpclient 3.1, since I also have to use a
third parti library (Remote Alfresco Access by Rivet logic) which needs
this version. So I tried to translate the above into the following:
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
PutMethod method = new PutMethod(uploadUrl);
RequestEntity entity = new
InputStreamRequestEntity(is) ;
method.setRequestEntity(entity) ;
int statusCode = httpclient.executeMethod(method);
is.close() ;
System.out.println("Status code: " + statusCode) ;
but in ths case I get a "417" status code, corresponding to the dreadful
"Expectation Failed" message (I have seen it a few times during my first
attempts, in which I was using 4.0).
There are still a few tests I can try (first and foremost, sniffing the
network traffic in the two cases), but in the meantime I thought I could
ask if anybody has experience using PutMethod with 3.1, and if there is
something clearly wrong with my code...
