How to get server response using the uploader

Hi,

I tried to used the B+ using your uploader sample.

I could not get the server response after upload is done. Can anyone helps me on this?

This is the url of my sample page:

Thanks.

The response body was not included in the fileCB data. I made a small change that should fix the problem. The javascript for the modified uploader.js is located here:

http://hackthebrowser.org/u/steve/js/uploader_1.0.3-min.js

The response data is stored in a new "value" field in the callback result object:

CODE

var fileCallback = function(res) {
    if (res.success && res.action === "uploaded") {
        // dump_json(res.value);
    }
};

a JSON.Stringify dump of above:

CODE

{
    "statusCode":200,
    "statusString":"200 OK",
    "headers": 
    {
        "Connection":"close",
        "Content-Type":"text/html",
        "Date":"Mon 05 Jan 2009 23:21:57 GMT",
        "Server":"Apache/1.3.41 (Darwin) PHP/5.2.6",
        "Transfer-Encoding":"Identity",
        "X-Powered-By":"PHP/5.2.6" 
    },
    "body":"Upload Recieved"
}

Let me know if this works for you. If so, we'll get the documentation updated and the javascript uploaded to our site.

Cheers,

Steve,

I used your modified uploader.js and it works! I can get now the server response of each file uploaded as you can see if you try my test link above.

One more thing though....

Is there a way that we can determine if all the files in that particular batch of upload has been uploaded? Coz I want to have a script/module run whenever it receives a trigger that all files on the batch has been finished uploading.

Hope am clear enough on this for you to understand what I mean.

Thanks,

Stillman

Right now, that can't be determined with the Uploader tool. I will look into creating an event for that.

If you use the raw Uploader service directly, there is a way to pass in multiple files at once so it'd be easy to tell when all files have been uploaded. Think the difference is that your server side code would have to handle a multipart upload.

Cheers,

Steve

Ok. Hope you can create an event for that.

Lastly, can we set the maximum filesize of each file and the maximum number of files per batch of upload on the present Uploader tool? If not, can you add them? I think it's a very useful feature.

Thanks,


Stillman

Two new callbacks added, uploadCompleteCB and constraintCB.

uploadCompleteCB is called after all files in the list have been uploaded.

CODE

function uploadCompleteCB(res) {
    if (res.success) { /* good */ }
}

constraintCB is called if there's a constraint violation: (1) too many files, (2) file too big (3) wrong mime type selected

CODE

function constraintCB(res) {
    /* res contains: 
        constraint - one of "toobig" "toomany" "mime" 
        name - file name
        size - file size
        mimetype - mime type 
    */
}

To register these events and set constraints:

CODE

var uploader = BPTool.Uploader.create("mediumDiv", 
    {
        uploadCompleteCB: mycb.uploadCompleteCB,
        constraintCB: mycb.constraintCB,
        maxFiles: 5,
        maxFileSize: 100000, /* size in bytes */
        mimeTypes: ["application/pdf"]
    });

Steve,

One thing I notice is that the mimeType of each file returned as "undefined" instead of the correct type.

Other than that, it works perfectly.

Thanks,


Stillman

I just fixed a bug in the underlying uploader service that caused it to not add the correct "Content-Type:" header to the uploaded files. As a result, your server would have seen something like "application/octet-stream" instead of something like "image/jpeg". We'll be pushing the fixed uploader service fairly soon.

Thanks. Will be waiting for the modified uploader to be pushed to the server.

Hey Stillman,

Uploader 3.1.7 is now available which should have correct content type headers, give it a look and holler back with your results.

very best,
lloyd

Where can I find Uploader 3.1.7? Let me know the location of the file.

Please ignore this.


But still the uploader has a problem of the jpeg file.

Lloyd,

You can check it out on this demo:
http://browserplus.yahoo.com/developer/web...oad/colors.html

It does not accept jpeg file although it was set to do so.

Thanks,


Stillman

We updated the Uploader tool to version 1.0.5. This version fixes the problem with JPGs so you just have to specify ["image/jpeg"]. The "colors.html" has been updated on the site as well.

Let us know if you still have problems with filtering.

Thanks,

Steve
