Hi,

I'm using BDS 2006 with Indy 9 and have been trying to send a file
from disk to my website. This is my code:-

	SL = new TMemoryStream;
        SL->LoadFromFile(acPath);
	try
	{
			   IdHTTP1->Put("http://www.MySite.co.uk/aws/backup.zip",SL);
	}
	__finally
	{
		ListBox1->Items->Add("File sent");
	}
	catch(const Exception &)
	{
		return;
	} 
	if(SL != 0)delete SL;
It seems to send the File OK but ends with and error message
saying that the connection was closed by a peer.
The file is not on the website.
Any ideas?

Cheers,

David

Most servers do not support the PUT command at all.  You will have to use a
TIdMultipartFormDataStream, and your server-side script needs to be able to
handle "multipart/form-data" postings.

So would it be better to use ftp for this?

FTP is specifically designed for transferring files, afterall.  Though there
is nothing wrong with using "multipart/form-data" transmissions over HTTP,
provided the server actually supports it.

Thanks Remy,

I'm not sure how to use multipart/form-data. Do you think you
could give me a few tips, please?

Cheers,

I already told you how to use it in your code - use the
TIdMultipartFormDataStream with the TIdHTTP::Post() method.

As far as the server is concerned, do any pages on your website have a
fillout form with a File button on it?  If so, then you can submit the
TIdMultipartFormDataStream to the same URL that the form is submitted to.
In other words, if you have the following HTML:

    <form method="Post" action="myscript.asp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select a file to upload: <input type="file" name="myfile"> <input
type="submit">
    </form>

Then the code would look like this:

    try
    {
        TIdMultipartFormDataStream *Strm = new TIdMultipartFormDataStream;
        try
        {
            Strm->AddFile("myfile", acPath, "");
            IdHTTP1->Post("http://www.MySite.co.uk/myscript.asp", Strm);
        }
        __finally
        {
            delete SL;
        }
        ListBox1->Items->Add("File sent");
    }
    catch(const Exception &)
    {
        return;
    }

I tried that but it didn't recognise TIdMultipartFormDataStream.
What do I need to #include?

Thanks,

David

#include <IdMultipartFormData.hpp>

Then change p to P

  //TIdMultipartFormDataStream *Strm = new TIdMultipartFormDataStream;
    TIdMultiPartFormDataStream *Strm = new TIdMultiPartFormDataStream;
            ^                                      ^
