Having a problem with sending a file via HTTP post in vb.net. I am trying to mimic the following HTML so the vb.net does the same thing.
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/upload.cgi">
File to Upload:
<input type="file" name="filename"/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="Submit"/>
</form>
Hope someone can help!
I think what you are asking for is the ability to post a file to a web server cgi script from a VB.Net Winforms App.
If this is so this should work for you
Using wc As New System.Net.WebClient()
wc.UploadFile("http://yourserver/cgi-bin/upload.cgi", "c:\test.bin")
End Using
You may use HttpWebRequest if UploadFile (as OneShot says) does not work out.
HttpWebRequest as more granular options for credentials, etc
FileStream rdr = new FileStream(fileToUpload, FileMode.Open);
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uploadUrl);
req.Method = "PUT"; // you might use "POST"
req.ContentLength = rdr.Length;
req.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
Stream reqStream = req.GetRequestStream();
byte[] inData = new byte[rdr.Length];
// Get data from upload file to inData
int bytesRead = rdr.Read(inData, 0, rdr.Length);
// put data into request stream
reqStream.Write(inData, 0, rdr.Length);
rdr.Close();
req.GetResponse();
// after uploading close stream
reqStream.Close();
Use this to get your file from the HTTP Post.
Request.Files["File"];
You could use the
E.g:
In ASPX:
<Asp:FileUpload id="flUpload" runat="Server" />
In Code Behind:
if(flUpload.HasFile)
{
string filepath = flUpload.PostedFile.FileName;
flUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(".\\") + file)
}
