https upload file

[mlh]

Hi everyone,

I should start out by saying, I do not know ANY C++, I have to modifiy someone else's code, to upload a file over https to a php script on the webserver.
This works now by using FTP. I have the code that does this below

int UploadFile(const char *serverName, const char* localFile, const char* remoteFile)
{
	int error = 0;
	CFtpConnection *ftp = NULL;
	BOOL ok;

	try {
		CInternetSession session(_T("Upload/1.0"));

		ftp = session.GetFtpConnection(serverName, "user", "pass");
		ok = ftp->SetCurrentDirectory(_T("data"));
		if (ok) {
			ok = ftp->PutFile(localFile, remoteFile, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII);
		}

		if (!ok) {
			error = GetLastError();
		}
	}
	catch (CInternetException* exc) {
		error = GetLastError();
	}

	// if the connection is open, close it
	if (ftp != NULL) {
		ftp->Close();
	}
	delete ftp;

	return error;
}

So my question, is can someone write in a drop in replacement code for this. You can hardcode the URL in the code. I am using vb.net C++.

As I really don't know what I am doing, I am willing to pay for someone to do this, let me know and we can work out a price.

Thank you,
Mike

I was hoping that there would be a small amount of code someone could point me to and use. I do know perl and php. If there is a well documented class that does this, I could figure it out. I will also post the request in the places you have offered.

Thank you,
Mike

sorry i'm new to C++ but what do i include to make this code work?

Uploading a file via https is considerably more complex than uploading over FTP.

Remember that HTTP was primarily developped as a RECEIVE-only type query. Posting data takes a bit of work.

You will need to read the file, convert the binary data to 7bit ascii so it can be posted. This will require you to create a routine to use one of the binary-to-ascii converscion schemes supported by your web server. The most common one being 'application/octet-stream'.

The FTP code is a few lines. Expect a https upload solution to be several dozen lines to maybe a couple hundred lines of code... Mainly to turn the file you want to upload into the proper HTTP post-compatible format.

On linux C++ this is easily done with openssl.
The windows openssl could do it too but the current version moronically pauses a second between each step.
e.g.

openssl s_client -host adwords.google.com -port 443
POST /api/adwords/v13/AdGroupService HTTP/1.0
Host: adwords.google.com
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Length: 952
