File upload example using HTTP Client API???

[jsstewart]

Does anyone have (or know of) and example showing how to upload a file (eg. image) from a handset to a server using the new HTTP Client API?

[jcarlosr]

The HTTP client example has upload capabilities, just search for HTTP Client Example v1.0 in Forum Nokia.

Thank you for your reply. I did find that example and it did provide a little help. However, my situation required that I send both textual (i.e. form-type) data as well as an image file. I resolved the issue by sending everything along as a multipart form.

hi,

how did u build the multipart data request..

I am sending image binary data in Post body, & using content-type as image/jpeg.

only partial image is sent using the code below.

Below is the code on the phone:

void CIapAppView::PublishImageL()
{
_LIT(KAttachmentFileName, "Image.jpg");

//open image from images folder
TFileName path = PathInfo::PhoneMemoryRootPath(); //Default
path.Append( PathInfo::ImagesPath() );
path.Append(KAttachmentFileName);

TInt err=0;
TRAP(err, AddToStatusWindowL(path));
if(err)
Panic(EIapView);


RFs fs;
User::LeaveIfError(fs.Connect());

RFile infile;
TInt val=infile.Open(fs,path,EFileShareExclusive|EFileRead);
if(val==KErrNone)
{
TInt file_size;
infile.Size(file_size);

HBufC8* bufImageData;
bufImageData = HBufC8::NewL(file_size);

if(bufImageData)
{
TBuf8<256> data8;
while(ETrue)
{
if(infile.Read(data8)!=KErrNone)
{
TRAP(err, AddToStatusWindowL(_L("Error: reading file")));
if(err)
Panic(EIapView);

infile.Close();
fs.Close();
return;
}
if(data8.Length()==0) //eof
{
TRAP(err, AddToStatusWindowL(_L("Success: reading file")));
if(err)
Panic(EIapView);

iClient->CancelTransaction();

//use bufImageData to send http post
TBuf8<256> uri8;

//external public ip
_LIT8(url1, "http://61.246.187.164/Push2Publish/Image?imageName=myimage&identityID=11");

//internal public ip
//_LIT8(url1, "http://192.168.102.11/Push2Publish/Image?imageName=myimage&identityID=11");

//nitins ip
//_LIT8(url1, "http://192.168.5.67:8080/Push2Publish/Image?imageName=myimage&identityID=11");

uri8.Append(url1);

TPtr8 ptr_bufImageData=bufImageData->Des();
iClient->IssueHTTPPostL(uri8, _L8("image/jpeg"), ptr_bufImageData);


break;
}

TPtr8 ptr_bufImageData=bufImageData->Des();
ptr_bufImageData.Append(data8);

}


}
else
{
TRAP(err, AddToStatusWindowL(_L("Error: Allocating HBuf")));
if(err)
Panic(EIapView);
}

}
infile.Close();
fs.Close();
}

Thanks
