Upload/Download File using REST or Web Services

Is it possible to Upload/Download a file using REST or any other Web Service and send HTML code?

This has to be possible using: PHP, Java or ASP.

I think this will be helpful. At least when it comes to Java. Actualy, have a look at whole tutorial

Here is an example how to do it by using Spring:

Add commons-io and commons-fileupload dependencies to your pom.xml. Configure multipart resolver in your servlet context xml file:

<beans:bean id="multipartResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
        <beans:property name="maxUploadSize" value="10000000" />
</beans:bean>

This will be your JSP for upload of files (i.e. fileUpload.jsp):

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form:form method="post" commandName="upload" action="uploadNewFile"
        enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <table class="table table-bordered">
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td><label>File</label></td>
                    <td><input class="form-control" name="file" type="file"
                        id="file" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2"><input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit"
                        value="Upload" /></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </form:form>
</body>
</html>

And this is controller:

import java.io.IOException;

import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class UploadController {

    // Show page for upload
    @RequestMapping(value = "/fileUpload", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView showUploadFilePage() {
        return new ModelAndView("fileUpload", "upload", null);
    }

    // Get multipart file and save it
    @RequestMapping(value = "/uploadNewFile", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String save(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {
        // Save it to i.e. database
        // dao.save(file);
        return "fileUpload";
    }

    // Downloads file. I.e. JPG image
    @RequestMapping(value = "/download/{id}", produces = MediaType.IMAGE_JPEG_VALUE)
    public @ResponseBody HttpEntity<byte[]> getFile(
        @PathVariable("id") Integer id) throws IOException {

        byte[] file= dao.get(id).getImage();
        HttpHeaders header = new HttpHeaders();
        header.set("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Image");
        header.setContentLength(file.length);

        return new HttpEntity<byte[]>(file, header);
    }
}

Yes...its possible.

It depends on the implementation on the server side though.

But if you just want an answer....its YES

yes its possible, need to use correct mimetype to achieve this. you can pass the string in response body if your using Rest...
