I am working on trying to get iOS 6 to use XMLHttpRequest POSTs to upload images. This works on desktop and Android web browsers, but with iOS 6 I am getting an error on the page being posted to: "Request Body Stream Exhausted". (Using iOS Simulator with the Safari Web Inspector).
Here is the basic code of the page:
function fileSelected() {
var file = document.getElementById('fileToUpload').files[0];
if (file) {
var fileSize = 0;
if (file.size > 1024 * 1024)
fileSize = (Math.round(file.size * 100 / (1024 * 1024)) / 100).toString() + 'MB';
else
fileSize = (Math.round(file.size * 100 / 1024) / 100).toString() + 'KB';
document.getElementById('fileName').innerHTML = 'Name: ' + file.name;
document.getElementById('fileSize').innerHTML = 'Size: ' + fileSize;
document.getElementById('fileType').innerHTML = 'Type: ' + file.type;
}
}
function uploadFile() {
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append("fileToUpload", document.getElementById('fileToUpload').files[0]);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", uploadProgress, false);
xhr.addEventListener("load", uploadComplete, false);
xhr.addEventListener("error", uploadFailed, false);
xhr.addEventListener("abort", uploadCanceled, false);
xhr.open("POST", "/UploadHandler.ashx");
xhr.send(fd);
}
function uploadProgress(evt) {
if (evt.lengthComputable) {
var percentComplete = Math.round(evt.loaded * 100 / evt.total);
document.getElementById('progressNumber').innerHTML = percentComplete.toString() + '%';
document.getElementById('prog').value = percentComplete;
}
else {
document.getElementById('progressNumber').innerHTML = 'unable to compute';
}
}
function uploadComplete(evt) {
/* This event is raised when the server send back a response */
alert(evt.target.responseText);
}
function uploadFailed(evt) {
alert("There was an error attempting to upload the file.");
}
function uploadCanceled(evt) {
alert("The upload has been canceled by the user or the browser dropped the connection.");
}
When doing this on any other browser, the handler returns correctly and uploads the file. However, with iOS the ashx page has the error "request body stream exhausted".
Here is a screenshot of the inspector:
Any ideas?
UPDATE: This issue only occurs when NTLM/Windows authentication is enabled for the application in IIS. With forms or anonymous authentication, the upload works fine.
Thanks,
