    Default Upload request

    I am trying to upload a file on the server. I have written this code, but i am receiving error in reply from server (on call of uploadfinished() [in code])

    Qt Code:
    1. uploadmanager::uploadmanager()
    2. {
    3. connect(&manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),
    4. SLOT(uploadFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
    5. }
    6.  
    7.  
    8. void uploadmanager::doUpload()
    9. {
    10. QString message_d = QString("Unable to open file");
    11. args<<"E:\\SMS\\spam_freq.csv";
    12. foreach (QString arg, args) {
    13. QFile file(arg);
    14. if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    15. {
    16. QMessageBox::information(this, "Error", message_d);
    17. return;
    18. }
    19.  
    20. QNetworkRequest request;
    21. request.setUrl(QUrl("me.xyz.com/smsspam"));
    22. request.setRawHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    23. request.setRawHeader("Accept","text/plain");
    24. file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
    25. QByteArray fileBinaryData(file.readAll());
    26. file.close();
    27. request.setRawHeader("data",fileBinaryData);
    28. QNetworkReply *reply = manager.post(request, fileBinaryData);
    29. currentUploads.append(reply);
    30. }
    31.  
    32. }
    33.  
    34. void uploadmanager::uploadFinished(QNetworkReply *reply)
    35. {
    36.  
    37. if (reply->error())
    38. {
    39. QString message_er = QString("Error in Upload");
    40. QMessageBox::information(this, "Err", message_er); //I am getting this msg
    41. }
    42. else
    43. {
    44. QString message_d = QString("Upload Complete");
    45. QMessageBox::information(this, "Upload Complete", message_d);
    46.  
    47. }
    48.  
    49. currentUploads.removeAll(reply);
    50. reply->deleteLater();
    51.  
    52. if (currentUploads.isEmpty())
    53. return;
    54.  
    55. }

    The PHP script at the server is below:

    Qt Code:
    1. <?php
    2. // Read the raw http data from the post
    3. $data = $_POST['data'];
    4. // Ungzip the wav file
    5. // $chunk = gzuncompress($data);
    6. if (!$data) {
    7. echo -1;
    8. die();
    9. }
    10. $uid = uniqid();
    11. $filename = "$uid.csv";
    12. $filepathname = "uploads/$filename";
    13. $handle = fopen($filepathname, 'wb');
    14. fputs($handle, $data, strlen($data));
    15. fclose($handle);
    16. ?>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Kindly, help me in constructing packet header and request in correct format as per the script. I think, i am not doing that in right way.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You are correct in that you can not upload to the server as you have done. You need to upload in a format suitable for the server.

    You may wish to research MIME encoding.

    Thanks squidge..!! But, still i am unable to figure out the right syntax by which i can include "data" in my request. Can i get some hint regarding that. I would be happy to know, if anyone can suggest me the wrong (in the context what i am trying to achieve) things which i have written in my code.

    The data has to be in the body part of the request and not in the request header. If you are using x-www-form-url encoding then first learn what the encoding looks like before trying to use it.

    Thanks wysota!

    But, I don't know how to include 'data' in body part. Actually, i don't how to include that in body part. I too had doubt on that point that i am doing wrong in including it in header. Help me please, i don't know how to do that in qt.

    And, you are right there! I will research on understanding the form-url-encoding thing.

    Read the docs for QNetworkAccessManager::post(). And use your head instead of blindly trying some random things.

    First of all i am not an expert and still very naive. I have read the docs of QNetworkAccessManager:: post() and i have used it in my code and also used MY HEAD [see above]. My question is how to identify the data of file with attribute 'data' [check the server side PHP script]. If you can answer that is fine for me.

    And you even know how to do that:

    If you want examples, you can use something like Etherpeek with a web page which allows you to upload data from your pc (eg. imageshack).

    However, this will not tell you what YOUR server supports.

    You can also use it once you have written your code to ensure it is sending the correct data. Its much better than trying to code "blind".

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html

    In particular, the section on "Form content types". For a large file (not text or more than a few tens of bytes) you typically want a Content-Type of "multipart/form-data" rather than "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" in your headers. Your request payload then needs to be encoded suitably.

    Thanks all. I did 2 mistakes one was not encoding the data to be sent and other was (silly) by not specifying the correct URL of the page. The code that works for me is below:


    Qt Code:
    1. uploadmanager::uploadmanager()
    2. {
    3. connect(&manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),
    4. SLOT(uploadFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
    5. }
    6.  
    7.  
    8. void uploadmanager::doUpload()
    9. {
    10. QString message_d = QString("Unable to open file");
    11. args<<"E:\\SMS\\spam_freq.csv";
    12.  
    13. foreach (QString arg, args) {
    14.  
    15. QFile file(arg);
    16.  
    17. if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    18. {
    19. QMessageBox::information(this, "Error", message_d);
    20. return;
    21. }
    22.  
    23. file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
    24. QByteArray data(file.readAll());
    25. QByteArray sdata;
    26. QUrl params;
    27. params.addQueryItem("data", data); //I wasn't encoding the data, one error was here
    28. sdata.append(params.toString());
    29.  
    30.  
    31. file.close();
    32.  
    33.  
    34.  
    35. QNetworkRequest request;
    36.  
    37. request.setUrl(QUrl("http://myserv.com/smsspam/smsspam.php")); // i committed a silly blunder here by not including th php page in URL ( which i came to know by checking the reply content)
    38.  
    39.  
    40. request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    41.  
    42.  
    43. QNetworkReply *reply = manager.post(request, sdata);
    44. currentUploads.append(reply);
    45. }
    46.  
    47. }
    48.  
    49. void uploadmanager::uploadFinished(QNetworkReply *reply)
    50. {
    51.  
    52. if (reply->error())
    53. {
    54. QByteArray response = reply->readAll();
    55. QFile file_spf("E:\\SMSAin\\dlog.txt");
    56. file_spf.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text);
    57. QTextStream spf_in(&file_spf);
    58. spf_in<<response;
    59.  
    60. QString message_er = QString("Error in Upload");
    61. QMessageBox::information(this, "Err", message_er);
    62. }
    63. else
    64. {
    65. QString message_d = QString("Upload Complete");
    66. QMessageBox::information(this, "Upload Complete", message_d);
    67.  
    68. }
    69.  
    70. currentUploads.removeAll(reply);
    71. reply->deleteLater();
    72.  
    73. if (currentUploads.isEmpty())
    74. return;
    75.  
    76. }
