I'd like to understand what happen under the hood when you do an web upload. I guess one of these: The file is loaded in memory by the browser, sent to the web server buffer memory, and then the app is notified to collect it. The file is being readed by the browser and at the same time sent to the web server, that can start to save the bytes progresively. I've tried to upload a very large file, and put a breakpoint on the frist line of the method receiving the upload. I've seen how the browser toke a lot of time loading... but the breakpoint was still not hit, and after a while the breakpoint is hit. I want to understand this, because in the worst scenario, if I allow big uploads, they could blow up the server memory at some point. What does happen if I upload a 2Gb file? (considering that the web server/app accepts that length) would it take 2Gb of server memory?
I'm trying to upload a file to an ASP 2.0 web service through HTTP 1.1 POST from a client-side application. If my web service function is declared as
<WebMethod()> Public Function UploadFile(ByVal file as Byte(), ByVal fileName as String) as String ...
The test form says the request should take this form:
POST address_of_service HTTP/1.1 Host: <host> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: length file=string&file=string&fileName=string
How do I get my binary file data into that form? I've tried just converting the file data to a string and putting it in the body (file=<string_data_here>) but I get HTTP 500 errors back, complaining about not being able to convert it to System.Byte. I've got HTTP POST working fine elsewhere in my application with plain string parameters. Also, out of curiosity, why is it showing the file parameter twice?
In my current project, my client application first talk with the server and the server returned an upload url for me to upload a file, the url looks like this: [URL] Then I want to use HTTP PUT method to upload the local "c:pesult.cab" to the above loacation. How could I do this? And could anyone give me a detailed description about the whole uploading mechanism? When I use a ASP.NET upload control, I just click the browse button to locate my file and click submit, and on the server side, I just call the SaveAs() method of the upload control. Here is some code:
protected void UploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if(FileUploadControl.HasFile) { try { string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.FileName); FileUploadControl.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/") + filename); StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!"; } catch (Exception ex) { StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: The file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: " + ex.Message; } } }
Who is responsible for reading the file and sending it? What happens when I call FileUploadControl.SaveAs() method? Does the server pull the file from client, or the client push the file to the server? I know HTTP is text based, but my result.cab is not text, so is it Base64 encoded before being sent? How does HTTP PUT method work? Is it a client side push, or a server side pull? Or interaction of both like some kind of handshake?
Could someone please tell me/link me to how I could create a method similar to those posted below: [URL] (I am providing the links as I'm not sure how to articulate this question without them!) I'm using C# ASP.NET. IIS 6. I have an existing web server with other public API methods. I do not want the iPhone user to have to open a web browser, and post to an aspx page. I want the iPhone developer to be able to call my method, and have one of the parameters be a handle to the file which gets POSTed.
I am using the async file upload control to upload to a image file. I want the user to upload only jpg files. And for that I am checking the uploadedfile content type in server side, after the upload complets. I wanna check this, before upload starts. There is one javascript method

but how to access the content type of the file selected by user.

Can i upload a file on a network share folder using file upload control?
I would like to create a share folder on a file server sitting next to the web server. If i upload the file from the network share folder instead of uploading it from the client machine does it make any difference?
Will the file be stored in a temporary location before copying to the final destination? Where will be the file stored in this case of uploading it from share folder?
