Uploading an image using C# and WebRequest?

Here is the working code in Python (using cURL):

#!/usr/bin/python

import pycurl

c = pycurl.Curl()
values = [
          ("key", "YOUR_API_KEY"),
          ("image", (c.FORM_FILE, "file.png"))]
# OR:     ("image", "http://example.com/example.jpg"))]
# OR:     ("image", "BASE64_ENCODED_STRING"))]

c.setopt(c.URL, "http://imgur.com/api/upload.xml")
c.setopt(c.HTTPPOST, values)

c.perform()
c.close()

Here's what I have in C#:

public void UploadImage()
    {
        //I think this line is doing something wrong.
        //byte[] x = File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\Users\Sergio\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\WpfApplication1\WpfApp开发者_C百科lication1\Test\hotness2.jpg");

        //If I do it like this, using a direct URL everything works fine.
        string parameters = @"key=1b9189df79bf3f8dff2125c22834210903&image=http://static.reddit.com/reddit.com.header.png"; //Convert.ToBase64String(x);
        WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://imgur.com/api/upload"));

        webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        webRequest.Method = "POST";
        byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(parameters);

        Stream os = null;
        try
        { // send the Post
            webRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length;   //Count bytes to send
            os = webRequest.GetRequestStream();
            os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);         //Send it
        }
        catch (WebException ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "HttpPost: Request error");

        }
        finally
        {
            if (os != null)
            {
                os.Close();
            }
        }

        try
        { // get the response
            WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();

            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
            MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd().Trim());
        }
        catch (WebException ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "HttpPost: Response error");                  
        }            

    }

Now, the things I noticed is that when I changed my API key in the parameters string to "239231" or whatever number, the response I got was: "Invalid API key." So I think something must be working right.

I placed my correct API key and now I get a different response: "Invalid image format. Try uploading a JPEG image."

The service I'm using accepts almost every image format, so I am 100% certain the error is in the way I'm sending the file. Can anyone shed some light?

EDIT!!!

It turns out when I upload a JPG image I get that gray box thing. If I upload a big jpg image I don't get anything. For example: http://i.imgur.com/gFsUY.jpg

When I upload PNG's, the image uploaded doesn't even show.

I'm certain the issue is the encoding. What can I do?

EDIT 2!!!

Now I'm 100% certain that the problem lies in the first line of the method. The File.ReadAllBytes() must be doing something wrong. If I upload a URL file, every works peachy: http://imgur.com/sVH61.png

I wonder what encoding I should use. :S


Try this:

string file = @"C:\Users\Sergio\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\WpfApplication1\WpfApplication1\Test\Avatar.png";
string parameters = @"key=1df918979bf3f8dff2125c22834210903&image=" +
    Convert.ToBase64String(File.ReadAllBytes(file));


You should correctly form a multipart POST request. See an example here: Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)


Read image posted by in API

public IHttpActionResult UpdatePhysicianImage(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        try
        {
            var form = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form;
            var model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserPic>(form["json"].ToString());
            bool istoken = _appdevice.GettokenID(model.DeviceId);
            if (!istoken)
            {
                statuscode = 0;
                message = ErrorMessage.TockenNotvalid;
                goto invalidtoken;
            }
            HttpResponseMessage result = null;
            var httpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request;
            if (httpRequest.Files.Count > 0)
            {
                var docfiles = new List<string>();
                foreach (string file in httpRequest.Files)
                {
                    var postedFile = httpRequest.Files[file];
                    // var filePath = uploadPath + postedFile.FileName;
                    //  string fileUrl = Utility.AbsolutePath("~/Data/User/" + model.UserId.ToString());
                    string fileUrl = Utility.AbsolutePath("~/" + Utility.UserDataFolder(model.UserId, "Document"));
                    if (!Directory.Exists(fileUrl))
                    {
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(fileUrl);
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(fileUrl + "\\" + "Document");
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(fileUrl + "\\" + "License");
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(fileUrl + "\\" + "Profile");
                    }
                    string imageUrl = postedFile.FileName;
                    string naviPath = Utility.ProfileImagePath(model.UserId, imageUrl);
                    var path = Utility.AbsolutePath("~/" + naviPath);
                    postedFile.SaveAs(path);
                    docfiles.Add(path);
                    if (model.RoleId == 2)
                    {
                        var doctorEntity = _doctorProfile.GetNameVideoChat(model.UserId);
                        doctorEntity.ProfileImagePath = naviPath;
                        _doctorProfile.UpdateDoctorUpdProfile(doctorEntity);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        var patientEntity = _PatientProfile.GetPatientByUserProfileId(model.UserId);
                        patientEntity.TumbImagePath = naviPath;
                        _PatientProfile.UpdatePatient(patientEntity);
                    }
                }
                result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, docfiles);
            }
            else
            {
                result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            statuscode = 0;
            message = "Error" + e.Message;
        }
    invalidtoken:
        return Json(modeldata.GetData(statuscode, message));
    }


Try changing :-

"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

to

"multipart/form-data"


Try adding the content-type for the jpg into your multipart boundary.

See this uRL for examples (at the end)

Shot in the dark, but maybe create an instance of Image, save the file to a Stream and use that to read the bytes into an array then upload it.

As in:

Image i = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("wut.jpg");
Stream stm = new Stream();
System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder myEncoder = System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality;
System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters paramz = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1);
myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 100L);
paramz.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
i.Save(stm, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg, paramz);
/* I'm lazy: code for reading Stream into byte[] here */
