i have a problem with uploading documents with dojo. I´m using the dojox/form/Uploader to upload a file withiframe mode. After uploading there is a response from the server in a special format. The uploader only works when i send it like this:
Server: '{"name":"file.png","file":"filename","type":"form-data"}'
But the answer is: Client: "'{\"name\":\"file.png\",\"file\":\"filename\",\"type\":\"form-data\"}'"
So i think there are two possible ways to solve this problem:
A. Fixing it on the client side B. Fixing it on the server side
I could not find a solution for B. I´m using ASP.NET webAPI and create the reponse like that:
Dim msg = "<textarea>'{" + Chr(34) + "name" + Chr(34) + ":" + Chr(34) + fileName + Chr(34) + "," + Chr(34) + "file" + Chr(34) + ":" + Chr(34) + returnData.Item1 + Chr(34) + "," + Chr(34) + "type" + Chr(34) + ":" + Chr(34) + returnData.Item3 + Chr(34) + "}'</textarea>"
Dim response = Request.CreateResponse(Of String)(HttpStatusCode.Created, msg)
response.Content.Headers.ContentType = New MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html")
Return response
Looks weird but the answer has to be enclosed by a html tag, the content is json.
Maybe there is a way to tell webAPI not to put those extra slashes into the response ? I gave up and decided to do it on the client side.
Problem is, i had to change the iframe.js file in the dojo library which is very bad.
