| Author | Forum: PowerTCP Web Enterprise for ActiveX Topic: WebASP file upload w/ other data |

posted April 26, 2002 11:53 AM The WebASP makes file uploads a piece of cake, along with posting other data... But if you just post variables and don't set any files to upload, it looks like the post is not done as a multipart post (which makes sense, since only data is going up)... My question is, can you FORCE it to always use the multipart encoding? even if there are no files to post? I saw someone say "if you can do it in IE, you can do it with PowerTCP", so the equivalent thing I'm trying to accomplish can be seen if you make a form in IE with a file input and in the form tag add the attribute enctype="multipart/form-data" that way, whether you supply a form or not, the post is always encoded the same way... |

posted April 26, 2002 12:20 PM Hi, Sure, just use FilesToPost with the variables, as below. -ken Dim vars As New DartStreams Dim v1 As New DartStream Dim v2 As New DartStream v1.Ref = "Name" v1.Write "Ken" vars.Add v1 v2.Ref = "City" v2.Write "Rome" vars.Add v2 WebASP1.Request.FilesToPost = vars WebASP1.Post K M Drake Dart Tech Support |

posted April 26, 2002 12:51 PM The method you suggested does work by forcing the post to be encoded as multi-part but the content type of the variables is not the same if its done this way as it is from IE, and that tends to screw up the ASP side... An example of a variable using the DartStream: -------------------------------------4239816200214 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo" Content-Type: application/octet-stream bar An example of a variable using the HttpVariable: -------------------------------------4239816200214 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo" bar I guess I could just insert at least one dummy DartStream variable to force the post to multipart encoded, and leave all the regular non file variables as HttpVariables.... unless you know of a way to change the content-type of the dartstream part? |

posted April 26, 2002 3:00 PM Hi, Is this a hypothetical question, or do you actually experience problems with the header included? In my experience, the presence of the header has not mattered. You can always add the multipart header, and then create the body of the message yourself (using Body.Write). -ken K M Drake Dart Tech Support |
