Thank you Daryl.

Hi ALL.

I beginning to think, that there is something between http client and url i am passing to it.

I wonder if there is some kind of restriction/limitation on it.

I am running Appeon PB app, Postman and Fiddler side-by-side:

Upload file from Postman, attaching file from pc or posting string from FileReadEx() = (success)  - in the Fiddler, i can see what is "flying over a wire", headers, body etc.

Upload file from the our app using HttpClient = ( fail, return code = -2), client returns -2 immediately - in the Fiddler, i can NOT see anything, feels just like HttpClient.SendRequest("PUT", s_url, s_file_in_the_string) is NOT doing anything.

Here is the example of s_url:

https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/zz.zzzzzz.zz.files.stage/42f63e06-362f-40aa-9f5b-80809a417198?X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEEsaCXVzLXdlc3QtMiJHMEUCIDUF6BG3cJDnmLBNalKhEYLJBxTCccLAzU9h40vaNSgNAiEAqgYGPyP1Pc4oa2NKcL4gIzWnBCM%2F%2Fu6MY9kQg5po344qwwQINBAGGgwyMTM0MTUxOTEzOTMiDE4jbPGEwOYEEQUX7CqgBHA4UWWbWjZ1nHDNgJuE6sMvQkTYf2Qge%2Boo4ynr5ev0WnlB1KUEposScjR1IYBqFZlBLV4xJE2rFtv5LWuwolAx%2FXI3Ut0CzBVbq%2BjZXBZT9eHXnCKK4JQtLDC8yq7jt8NCEB3VqR%2FSz2UHU0tXBqOWKJ1%2FTaa8%2FO8tXN8pA7RrXRl1eFaCDKNNj1%2BD3ebZBeB1%2Fs%2B5aSEZzUFCmwbh9UszgM3SVslQlT14Iik7JXYLXqarB2O%2BM6LHAewxEA1PuMInIMu6lwd1%2B2W3dcQus2O2pyFtF1nFUxGa3Qh%2FitJyU6f861AF0Y4uks%2FSIEtSBIxTICiBklER410QdQu52ag%2BuJ5TKi4SbLdvwlAqpeomsrC1j5ZYNKp3ho9x3fq0%2BP%2BfT8%2FZP4%2BNYp%2BU5Gx35m7FZ%2F0qu57OCDReswqIqGT1cpILVfCktPi0rOM4B3RTP97XWVaGgAxid%2Bi%2BMx97Y4CnkF6QrYOz6M3hb%2FlbdWzNTiIF6alPuOk5s8f9UnvtSg0yFRnvlHpAdaKFMZnJL5M%2F2am48UCRTUGzQy6l31lF403dVvAXncsSEMlxlljA4kIxtJjnVedwt0JKm9qriLb0xiN0X%2BDmHTfKCS1Pz%2BYCH%2FY6xMeLUEbtGqdm7GniFju4EQKOFZK0KU2JzZYd%2BVr%2Fzd8DIfu8pu48O499siMzTEa0Hzt8xif%2BuU%2F8B7lrOCaTDF9%2BDCNT6weHOk0vq28ws%2FPTrgY6pgHowfbQ6r%2BD6XZFSjn4CTrn8Thv%2FwIALXCLDbFnK2gMlgzdBQfvF2boNAEwZYul7pLlsVbq%2BEz7wibzi7io4caJ9lfpVUAqwKw9eWhfnxbCPmO7Dtm6cHwOmbcV5Y%2FyTHb99un4JyX1OK8Ev9f3xov1JUgbmi5XGZlCct83y3ACZKCQkTNu1vWQ01WjPhNioC92xgjkpRS0KcLS8VSkta0McnEeshEw&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20240220T191547Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=599&X-Amz-Credential=ASIATDMEJMNQSRVH3HU6%2F20240220%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=b0b88d15f7f6a573c3c265353be8bf551f43b20e2f0ca5f129348899a9ba00c4

Upload file from the our app using Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0 and same s_url = (success) - in the Fiddler, i can see what is "flying over a wire", headers, body etc.

--select len(s_url) = 1602

Any recommendations?

Greatly appreciated.

Hi Rene.

Thank you for participation and willing to help, greatly appretiated.

This is not a "multipart/form-data" data

I got headers from Postman:

i_rc = lnv_HttpClient.setRequestHeader( 'Accept', '*/*' )
i_rc = lnv_HttpClient.setRequestHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive')
i_rc = lnv_HttpClient.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", string(len(blb_file)))
i_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br")
i_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml")

I also did try to use

POST - lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("POST", presigned url, blob)

and

PUT - lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("PUT", presigned url, blob)

getting -2 ( Invalid URL ) return in both cases.

So, there is something else i am missing.

BTW, i was always under impression that POST= Insert and PUT = Update, but i could be wrong.

Thank you

Sincerely

Vlad

You can also upload files using HTTPClient but you have to build the body data to send and the request headers youself depending what the server expected.

Here you can find an example using multipart/form-data:

https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/httpclient-post-with-multipart-form-1?limitstart=0#reply-41133

BTW, in your posting you use POST instead of PUT in sendRequest!

Looks like Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0 came to the rescue ...

long l_FileNo, l_filelength, l_fileclose
blob blb_file

l_FileNo=fileopen("C:\my_file_name.XML",StreamMode!)

l_filelength=FileReadEx(l_FileNo,blb_file)

l_fileclose=FileClose(l_FileNo)

oleobject loo_xmlhttp
string s_status, s_response

loo_xmlhttp = CREATE oleobject
i_rc = loo_xmlhttp.ConnectToNewObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0")

loo_xmlhttp.open("PUT", presigned url, false)

loo_xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=my_file_name.XML")
loo_xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", string(len(blb_file)))

loo_xmlhttp.send(blb_file)

s_status = string(loo_xmlhttp.Status)
s_response = string(loo_xmlhttp.ResponseText)

got 200 back, file is in the bucket, downloaded file from the bucket, matched with one i send from my machine, have a full match.

hopefully it will help someone.

Still ... is there is better/different way to do it?

Thank you
