Hi,

How do you post (Using HttpExample client or CHTTPFormEncoder) ?

hi,
I am posting using normal httpconnection.

You could post the information by using a multipart encoding, that way you send a single post with an special format that separates the different variables.

I did that over a SocketConnection so I had to build the multipart manually. I'll look for an example to send to you.

I am posting an Image and Text (such as name, address, phone no) in the same request.

I send the image a binary stream and text as http header

url = "http://"+midlet.getAppProperty("HostName")+":"+midlet.getAppProperty("PortNo")+"/"+midlet.getAppProperty("ConnectString")+"/"+midlet.getAppProperty("ServletName");

con = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url + "?CL=" + String.valueOf(data.length));
System.out.println("HTTP Connection Opened : "+con);
con.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Language","en");
//con.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",String.valueOf(data.length));
con.setRequestProperty("CLength",String.valueOf(data.length));
con.setRequestProperty("CustId",customerId);
con.setRequestProperty("FName",firstName);
con.setRequestProperty("MName",middleName);
con.setRequestProperty("LName",lastName);

con.setRequestProperty("Accept","*/*");
//con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","image/png");
con.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control","no-cache");
con.setRequestProperty("Pragma","no-cache");

os = con.openDataOutputStream();
os.write(data);
os.flush();
os.close();
in = con.openInputStream();


Hpe this solves your problem

Hi,

I think if you get to program the server app to extract the information from the headers then it's a really good idea.

I was just working on the client on the phone and I was given a similar task so I did it like arielbt below and programmed it manually using SocketConnection.

Used SocketConnection because I was facing problems with HttpConnection and uploading using multipart encoding. I think that if it's not possible to do it with HttpConnection may have to do it that way.

Hi,
arielbt I want to ask you something.You said that you could post information by using a multipart encoding,so you could send more types of information in one request.
I am working on a 3rd Edition SDK.I tried to modify the httpexample,but with no success in sending a multipart encoded request.I used RHTTPSession and RHTTPTransaction.
You said that you could send a multipart encoded request over a SocketConnection.Can you please send me an example or a portion of your code where you build
and send the multipart encoded request?
Or anything that could help me in sending a multipart encoded request.
What still remains a mistery to me is how do I send this file to the server over a SocketConnection like you did? Especially if the server requires authentication.I would appreciate it if you could help me here.
