Upload image using HttpClient
Okay after hours of researching I came to the point that I should restart from draft. I simulate a Html form upload with following C# code:
private async Task<string> UploadImage(StorageFile file)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://your.url.com/");
MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
HttpContent content = new StringContent("fileToUpload");
form.Add(content, "fileToUpload");
var stream = await file.OpenStreamForReadAsync();
content = new StreamContent(stream);
content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("form-data")
{
Name = "fileToUpload",
FileName = file.Name
};
form.Add(content);
var response = await client.PostAsync("upload.php", form);
return response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}
And my php file to receive the data looks as the follwing:
<?php
$uploaddir = 'uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);
echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);
?>
Now it works as it should and I hope somebody can reuse my code.
