multipart file-upload post request from java
I'm trying to make a program that uploads a image to a webserver that accepts multipart file-uploads.
More specificly i want to make a http POST request to http://iqs.me that sends a file in the variable "pic".
I've made a lot of tries but i don't know if i've even been close. The hardest part seems to be to get a HttpURLConnection to make a request of the type POST. The response i get looks like it makes a GET.
(And i want to do this without any third party libs)
UPDATE: non-working code goes here (no errors but doesn't seem to do a POST):
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
BufferedReader br = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
DataInputStream inStream = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
boolean ret = false;
String StrMessage = "";
String exsistingFileName = "myScreenShot.png";
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1*1024*1024;
String responseFromServer = "";
String urlString = "http://iqs.local.com/index.php";
try{
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream( new File(exsistingFileName) );
URL url = new URL(urlString);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary="+boundary);
dos = new DataOutputStream( conn.getOutputStream() );
dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"pic\";" + " filename=\"" + exsistingFileName +"\"" + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
while (bytesRead > 0){
dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
dos.write开发者_开发问答Bytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);
fileInputStream.close();
dos.flush();
dos.close();
}catch (MalformedURLException ex){
System.out.println("Error:"+ex);
}catch (IOException ioe){
System.out.println("Error:"+ioe);
}
try{
inStream = new DataInputStream ( conn.getInputStream() );
String str;
while (( str = inStream.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(str);
}
inStream.close();
}catch (IOException ioex){
System.out.println("Error: "+ioex);
}
Two things:
Make sure you call setRequestMethod to set the HTTP request to be a POST. You should be warned that doing multipart POST requests by hand is difficult and error-prone.
If you're running on *NIX, the tool netcat is very useful for debugging this stuff. Run
netcat -l -p 3000
and point your program to port 3000; you'll see exactly what the program is sending (Control-C to close it afterwards).
I have used this and found it useful in multipart file upload
File f = new File(filePath);
PostMethod filePost = new PostMethod(url);
Part[] parts = { new FilePart("file", f) };
filePost.setRequestEntity(new MultipartRequestEntity(parts,
filePost.getParams()));
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
status = client.executeMethod(filePost);
