I am having problem sending base64 image data using ajax post I think I have the wrong value for Content-Type but have tried application/json, text/json and image/jpeg without any success
Javascript
function sendFormData(fD)
{
var urls = fD.get('urls');
console.log('urls', urls);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/editsongs.update_artwork');
alert(urls);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "image/jpeg");
xhr.send(urls);
}
Browser console shows
["data:image/jpeg;base64,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…
Java Server code
public String updateArtwork(Request request, Response response)
{
System.out.println("Received artwork");
for(String s:request.queryParams())
{
System.out.println("---"+s);
}
System.out.println("ReadParms");
return "";
}
just outputs
Received artwork
ReadParms
Updated to Send as Form Instead
// Once we got everything, time to retrieve our objects
function sendData()
{
var fD = new FormData();
// send Files data directly
var files = imgList.filter(
function isFile(obj)
{
return obj.type === 'file';
}
);
files.forEach(
function appendToFD(obj)
{
fD.append('files[]', obj.file);
}
);
// for elems, we will need to grab the data from the server
var elems = imgList.filter(
function isElem(obj)
{
return obj.type === "element";
}
);
var urls = elems.map(
function grabURL(obj)
{
return obj.element.src;
}
);
if (urls.length)
fD.append('urls', JSON.stringify(urls));
sendFormData(fD);
};
function sendFormData(fD)
{
// but here we will just log the formData's content
var files = fD.getAll('files[]');
console.log('files: ', files);
var urls = fD.get('urls');
console.log('urls', urls);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/editsongs.update_artwork');
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.send(fD);
}
then on server I have
public String updateArtwork(Request request, Response response)
{
System.out.println("Received artwork");
for(String s:request.queryParams())
{
System.out.println("***"+s);
System.out.println(request.queryParams(s));
}
System.out.println("ReadParms");
return "";
}
and its outputs
Received artwork

ReadParms
So I'm now getting the data but I don't understand really understand how to parse the Content-Disposition part in Java.
This code wasn't originally written by me, as you can see the FormData is constructed it doesnt come from an actual form. My first attempt was to try and extract from FormData and send in different way, an alternative would be to not store in FormData in the first place but dont know how to do this.
Update 2 Tried just sending first url rather than formdata or an arrya of urls, because actually there is only ever one url.But it just doesnt work, nothing received by server ?
function sendFormData(urls)
{
console.log('urls', urls[0]);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/editsongs.update_artwork');
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/json");
alert(JSON.stringify(urls[0]));
xhr.send(JSON.stringify(urls[0]));
}
