hi all,

did anyone try this plugin? http://www.peacekeeper.com/3dgs/http.html
it works pretty well, but i can't get the upload done. i use

Code:

---

dll_handle = dll_open("GSHTTP.dll");
HTTP_Create(1);
waitt(16);
HTTP_PostFile(1,"http://www.hereComesTheUrl",the_file, ???);
waitt(16);
HTTP_Free(1);
dll_close(dll_handle);
wait(1);

---

where i've set the 3 ???, what do i have to fill in for "var_str"?

is there any other way to upload the file to a specific url?

in http_posfile you should have the directory of your exe as the first parameter and the file name of the LOCAL copy of the http file to send. there is no forth parameter as far as the documentation goes. the other thing is that it is for 5.5 not 6.4.

can you give an exmple, please? i jsut don't get it, sorry.

furthermore, the documentation on the site says
dllfunction HTTP_PostFile(id,url_str,file_str); while the wdl that comes with the pac states
dllfunction HTTP_PostFile(id,url_str,file_str,var_str); whithout explaining var_str.

regarding the 5.5->6.4 problem, it works fine with 6.3.

ok I will dig into it today and see what I can find out.

wonderful please post anything you can find out, even if it's not the solution, maybe it can help me already.

after digging through the source what I found was that you were correct in using a url for the first param. As for the third param.... use a different call http_postfile2. This should take care of your problems getting started.

i had a go with postfile2, though i had no success. i guess it has something to do with the "directory of your acknex exe + fostfile". do i have to publish first, to get the exe and the file in one folder, before it will be uploaded? do i need an absolute or a relative path?

I think I will have to leave this last question for someone with more expreience with this plugin than I have.

but you seem to be the only one who has. thanks a lot for your help, i will try to circumvenit the dll upload with a php script. let's see if i can do it. however, if you find anything else out about this feature, please keep me informed.

ok, i have set up a form like this:

Code:

---

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input type="file" name="datei" />
 <input type="submit" value="Datei hochladen" />
</form>
 
<?php
 
if (isset($_FILES['datei']) and ! $_FILES['datei']['error'])
{
 
	$filename = $_FILES['datei']['name'];
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES['datei']['tmp_name'], $filename);
 
	echo "<b>Status:</b> Upload komplett";
 
} else {
 
	echo "<b>Status:</b> Fehler beim Upload";
 
}
?>

---

it's called upload.php. now i want to fill this form via the HTTP_Post command:

Code:

---

dll_handle = dll_open("GSHTTP.dll");
wait(1);
HTTP_Create(0);
wait(1);
while(HTTP_IsWorking(0)==1) {
waitt (16);
}
if (HTTP_Create(0)==0) { 
HTTP_Post(0,"http://here's the URL/upload.php",poster2);}
HTTP_Free(0);
dll_close(dll_handle);

---

but no way, the file (path stored in poster2, no error there) simply doesn't get uploaded. what's wrong with it?
