[ptt-users] setFile corrupting data on multi-part HTTP POST?

[Aaron Romeo]

Funny, I had run into a similar problem with images...  Thanks Mark that
will be helpful.

By the way, I have had a similar problem dealing with French characters in
the response (like a HTTP Response).  They do not appear to be in UTF-8.  I
have my French characters appearing as "français" rather than "français".
I know this is a character encoding issue, and I believe it is because the
Response content is not read as UTF-8.

Aaron.

What's probably happening in (1) is that ProtocolHandler is assuming UTF-8
encoding.  I had the same problem in downloading applet code.  Hex 85 in the
file was converted to hex 26.
 
I solved this by using Java.  Here is Jython code to use the Java classes to
download.  You can do something similar to upload data.  Wrap the file in a
DataInputStream, read it and write it into the connection's output stream.
 
from java.net import URL, URLConnection
from java.io import DataOutputStream, FileOutputStream, DataInputStream
 
myURL = URL('''http://localhost:8080/MyApp/applets/Applets.jar")
cc = myURL.openConnection()
jarFile = DataOutputStream(FileOutputStream("Applets.jar")
inStream = DataInputStream(cc.getInputStream())
inNum = inStream.read()
while -1 != inNum:
    jarFile.write(inNum)
    inNum = inStream.read()
jarFile.close()
print "Applets.jar written"

Hi,

 

Two questions.

 

(1)

With the following excerpt of code,

 

self.body.setFile(filetoupload, "video/x-ms-wmv", "Filedata")    

(..bunch of parameters..)

self.response = self.http.connect()

 

 

I'm seeing the source and received binary data differ.  The filesizes are
identical, but hex 90s are all converted to hex 3F.

Is there an alternative to setFile() that would be more suited for binary
data?

 

(2)

In testmaker, the parts to the multi-part POST are generated seemingly
independent of the order that I add parameters.    Regardless of whether I
put the setFile call at the beginning or end of a series of
self.body.addParameter() calls, I'm seeing the file POSTed first of the
parts of the multi-part post.    Looking at the RFC (2388
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt sec 5.5) it seems like this might
actually matter.    Is there a way that I can control ordering that the
parts of a multi part post works?


 

Thanks!

seth
